to give you a bit of history, we have been in our house for 5 months. We were told that it had been underpinned around 20 years ago and the house buyers report came back fine. To be able to obtain house insurance we had to get a structrual engineer out to assess the property. The report came back all clear.
But since we have been in the house i keep noticing cracks everywhere, there must be a new one around once a week. My DH thinks i am being paranoid. We got some friends to come round and look them over as they are surveyors and they said it was fine but is it usual to have so many cracks on the wall? To give an example we have hairline cracks from the floor right up to the top of the house in the hallway. There are lots of cracks at the corner of door and window frames. We got a few cracks covered up and one of them has reappeared which is not good. There are around 4+ cracks in each room if not more and it's driving me mad as i keep thinking that the house is going to fall down!
Does anyone have any advise or have the same problem? would be great to hear from anyone who can give me peace of mind!!
Thanks all
