Crack in Bay Window

[Ash Kashap]

Hi All,

I’m about to purchase a property but have noticed a crack under the front bay window which can be seen on the inside and outside.

The survey says 'At the right side of the bay at low level there is a crack extending through the brickwork from sill height to the rendered plinth which could be due to differential movement’.

I’ve also now noticed a crack above the front door which. The rest of the house seems fine and it seems like the other cracks are caused by plaster. House is a 1930’s build.

Should I get a structural engineer to look at it? Or would anyone know how serious this could be?

Thanks,
Ash
