What have you got at the bottom of the walls? I would be tempted to dig a small hole and try and get a look at the footings, it is what our structural engineer asked us to do when we were investigating underpinning.

Concrete path round the side/back so nothing easy to access. That should all be laid on the same slab.
@dbr - indeed! Luckily The Modern House fella didn't seem to notice when he came round to give us a valuation. Don't think we'll be selling up any time soon now anyway.Will update when the engineer's been round.

Door that was aligned now has >1cm greater opening at the top.
