Stepped cracks , subsidence ?

[Bethl]

When we moved in (2022) we founds some stepped cracks in the mortar , 2 under the kitchen window and one above and to the side, none have massively changed in the last 4 years, i forgot about them for a while and i have since heard a subsidence story and now paranoid again ! We had windows replaced in 2023 and none of them are sticking all photos attached , what do you thinkt

I’d set a reminder for a 2030 check up and forget about it. It looks nowhere near worrying level in my eyes and dead common in places of that age

The brickwork above the window looks like it's dropped a bit due to a lack of a lintel.

Big time, didn’t spot that. Top trim looks visible bowed to me. I think the subsidence concern pics were low level though.

Yes, looking at the photo a bit closer the low level ones are below a tap and drain, so it would be worth checking the ground isn't getting soaked in that area.

It looks historic, but if you're worried stick some tell-tales over acoupleof the worst ones and monitor.

I'd just point then up and move on.

Yep, it looks to have bent to me, unless it's the photo. Try a straight edge along the top of the window.
