Ta, noted.
Building Surveyor has been round, no concerns. Foundations are 1.5m deep and no signs of movement of property. Fortunately its located next to the new part of the property. The rest is late 1700 - no foundations!
As you said, 3 weeks of no rain and scorching sun has taken it's toll. No point doing anything with it until it's 'resettled'.

The materials used between the two behave very differently - I hope your surveyor has highlighted this to you. It's very possible this can cause ongoing problems.

When I say new, it's 12 years old the 'new' part. No signs of any weakness to date. But yes, it's something that was pointed out.

We've had 28 days of days of no rain. Can't say I remember that in my lifetime.
