Cracks in new build house

[Mat59637]

Hi guys new here so if this is wrong place to post ect I apologise.
I’m currently looking at this new build me and the mrs like but notices 20+ hairline cracks in these bricks. The house has just been built and the cracks don’t go any further than the bricks them self. does it look serious or normal ?
thanks

As long as the cracks don't go through the mortar joints, not a problem.

Thanks tony, would you say they could do that over time ? Or they would have already done it ?

You should expect a little settlement .......the mortar should be weaker than the bricks this is so the settlement occurs in the mortar joints and not the bricks. Then it's easy to repoint the cracks. If the mortar is too strong then the cracks can go through the bricks.

Only time will tell if you have a problem or not.

Thanks for note
I hope it isn’t anything serious
