Nothing flagged yet

Work through the list. A clean sheet means no obvious movement — move on to the insurance & lender checks at the bottom.

OK: 0Amber: 0Red: 0

The decision rule

Any RED flagged → get a RICS Level 3 survey (or specialist) before you commit. Don't try to judge severity yourselves — a red is a "stop and get expert eyes on it" item.
3 or more AMBER → treat as a pattern; get the survey. One sticking door is nothing; several small signs together is how subsidence actually shows up.
1–2 AMBER → note them, photograph, ask the seller, and get your insurance quote. If anything feels off or unexplained, the survey is the safe call.
All clear → no obvious movement. You've cleared the visible checks — now clear the two paper gates: seller disclosure and an insurance quote your lender will accept.

A self-screening aid, not a survey and not structural/insurance advice. Crack widths follow BRE Digest 251. If in any doubt, a RICS Level 3 Building Survey is the right call in Ripon's gypsum area.
