Recent cracking on south facing wall
Sorry to be one of those people, but my neighbour sent me this photo today, of the back of our house that only has a very narrow alleyway access (weird layout newish build estate). These cracks have appeared over the last few days, it’s a south facing wall that’s been baked in the recent heatwaves. My research this evening is pointing to structural engineer assessment but not to initially contact insurance? House is 10 years old at Christmas, so currently just within the NHBC warranty, though we are the 2nd owner. It’s a Linden homes property. EDIT: due to the way the bathroom is constructed internally, we can’t see the external wall to confirm if it’s cracked on the side also - it’s behind a built out wall that’s tiled
