Hi!
FTB here, avid follower of the property forums but this is my first time posting.
We are shortly due to exchange on a late 1800's victorian property and have had the usual homebuyers etc surveys carried out without much by way of red flags. We've been back recently and we've really noticed some of the cracks in the walls/ceiling.
Basically there are a few what look like hairline cracks in the walls and one crack in the ceiling that is a bit of a worry. There's also a crack in the kitchen which looks like it has been painted over but you can just about see it.

Do any of these look fairly normal? I'm wondering what to say to the sellers/surveyor about it... I can't work out if we saw them the first time but assumed they were fine...
