Hi. So I'm now put in a position whereby pulling out is a very real option at this stage. Never had to do that before but we hadn't noticed at the time and the level 3 survey has reported that there is a wall that is not vertically aligned and is showing signs of movement.

The property was built in 1900-1929 so I was not expecting a flawless property but yes, the wall is leaning. They believe it is "localised" and so now I can pay for a structrual engineer to investigate at a possible cost of £1000 or just pull out. What would you do?

The wall in question is the wall at the right of the front door.
