Either the floor joists are rotten and you’re in for a massive, massive bill or the laminate is lifting slightly, usually because it’s expanded a bit and there hasn’t been sufficient space left to accommodate this so it’s bowing, which you can either just ignore or try to alleviate.
Show us the bits where the floor meets the walls and skirting.

We had similar in a room (1970s bungalow). Turns out the boards had shrunk over time and weren't locking together any more, making them bounce. Was a 1 day job for a carpenter/handyman to replace with chipboard.

Our floors are bouncy, but that’s because our house was cheap infill in the 1910s, joists are 2x8s, 24” on centre.

On the floor chat, a lot of my floors are "bouncy" and sink a bit if you put something heavy like a wardrobe on them. Can't get under the floor to look (flooring is all laminate and taking a bit up would be destructive) but wondering if anyone had any thoughts on what may cause that and, more importantly, what we might need to budget to fix it.
House is standard 1900s terrace.
