Is this subsidence please help

Did you bruy it or just put a dreposit on it?

It's also dropped at the bottom right corner of the window. Have a dig, I think you'll find it's been built on topsoil. If so it probably needs knocking down and rebuilding, it looks like it's a small extension so hopefully not a major catastrophe. Not worth mucking about trying to repair, underpin etc. Just re-do it correctly.

There's usually a good reason why houses are in auction!

Just get a spade and dig out alongside the wall. If it's less than a couple of feet deep then it's junk.

I saw loads of similar extensions when we were buying. They often tip away from the main building, as an extension normally has three walls, so the outer edge with its wall is much heavier than the inner, which doesn't have a wall. Have a look where it adjoins the original building, see what's happening there.

You need to assess how bad it is, then decide on a plan. It definitely has major issues, but hopefully it's a fairly small extension so it isn't the end of the world.

Thanks will do that

Either shrinkage of the face brickwork, or some settlement/foundation movement.

Either instruct your own structural engineer or involve your insurer.

I guess you didn't see the photos woody.
