I'm not qualified to give you any advice. If it were moving you'd have cracks in the house if survey flagged no cracks i wouldn't be worried.. Check the small print on insurance. It's an old house and stood for a long time.
All a slope survey will do is a desk study and then look for signs of issues in person.It does look like the wall on the street is moving a bit. But could be old movement. And looking on street view there appears to be remedial works, I'd ask the neighbours about this, as it's theirs.

Look at the older Google maps, August 2010, shows them rebuilding that sandstone wall after removing a breezeblock one.

Thanks for this and good spot on the wall work.
I agree, if the survey had flagged issues I’d be concerned and would be more inclined to swallow the cost. I’ll ask about the wall and check that there are no issues with building insurance too.

The house is on a hill (as are most houses in Stroud) and the garden is uphill of the house. I’m just trying to work out if the cost of the additional recommended geological survey is essential, as it’s probably another 1500-2k
