Wow, that's quite lax! I certainly wouldn't in general be advising that knuckle-sized (15+mm) cracks in a masonry house are "fine"
Burland et al classifications are widely accepted as the go-to damage categories. 15mm+ is severe...
Every situation is different though and individual inspection is key to determine the cause rather than just the damage.
Well this is in a old stone house where the walls are about a metre thick. I'm sure he was being purposefully glib to put our minds at ease! And touch wood since we renovated there has been no further signs of movement.
Every situation is different though
:-D
Sounds like knew what he was doing then!
