Cost of structural engineer? (? Subsidence)

So I posted a couple of weeks ago and thank you for your replies. I've since been monitoring closely and I'm still not convinced there isn't a problem. Husband thinks I'm mad as a box of frogs... I'm actually a psychologist by background so I'm pretty perceptive (I think, for my sins!)
Anyway, I think the only thing I can do is get a structural engineer in to look. At least then we will know what we are dealing with ... I know they sometimes want to observe over time but I'm wondering what a rough fee is (west mids) for a walk around inspection?

Needless to say after getting a RICs building survey prior to completion (1 month ago) this is rather disappointing....

Also I could alert our insurer but I really don't want anything related to subsidence associated with the house unless it's a big job that we can't afford to do without insurance intervention! We are insured... though we don't have legal cover at the mo. Not sure if we might need it?

hi
Would be really grateful if you could inform as to how you managed to resolve issue and ruled out subsidence.

I am also having sleepless nights and stressed due to similar problems.
Despite OH insisting nothing to worry about
