Crack above lintel and on internal wall

[electric_mango]

Hi all,

Looking to get some advice on these two cracks.

We're about to exchange contracts on this 1980s probate house. It's been sitting empty since April last year and it's been a long and arduous process.

On our final viewing we just noticed these two cracks.

1. Above a window externally moving up (Pic 1)
2. One large crack vertically going up from the floor to the ceiling (Pic 2 & 3)

Our first worry is this could be subsidence as there's quite a lot of overgrown shrubs and one small tree in the back garden.

We got a level 2 survey done but nothing was raised on this.

Am I overthinking this or do you think its worth getting a structural engineer over to check before we exchange?

Any thoughts would be much appreciated

Or ask for an insurance indemnity against it, if that's even possible

Where are the internal cracks in relation to the external crack?
Anyway, dont let what you show stand in the way of buying the property

So the external crack is on the ground floor and the internal crack is on the first floor. I wouldn't say they were directly above eachother though.

I just thought I'd double check if it was worth getting a second opinion aside from the Survey. Always hear horror stories about it!
