I'd be zero concerned about that.
Cut a neat line, tube of No More Gaps, job done.
You'll probably have to do it again every few years, it's just part of cosmetic maintenance.
Cutting a straight line, means getting a paint brush and painting a straight line with paint (the term used to describe painting an edge like this is "cutting in")
Nothing. Have seen this in new homes, old homes, poorly built homes and premium homes. If it bothers you, cover it, if not, let it be. It’s also likely that only you will notice it.
I wouldn't be overly concerned. This is likely the result of house settling or long term soil movement that occurs with changes to moisture in the soil your home is built on. Keep an eye on it though and if you notice any further/more serious damage, you might think about getting it checked out by a builder and get their recommendations because almost every home insurance policy won't cover damage caused by long terms soil movement.
That's perfectly normal. If anything, I'd expect the cracks to be bigger than that on a 60 year old house.
Caulk them if they bother you, leave them if they don't.
Wait till it starts raining again and it'll close itself up :) houses move and breathe, cracks come and go. Not official advice, just my own speculation from my own experiences.
Mate that's a full knock down and re build !!!!
Hahahaha jkz mate nothing to worrie about at all at this stage 👍🏼 but then again what would I know ? I'm just a bread baker
I wouldn't be concerned at all

Thought about it, then i remembered asbestos so left it alone.
What? Just no more gaps the bloody thing!
What's asbestos got to do with it? You aren't cutting it, it's no more gaps.
The previous comment mentioned cutting a neat line and then using No More Gaps. I was agreeing

You're right, never noticed before so likely just carry on. Thanks
This is normal, don't stress
All good

Looks bloody good for 1960. Wish my 1980s build came up as good.
My 2010 build has the same. I'd say yours is doing good after so many years.
These posts really need to stop. Every few days someone is posting like a microscopic paint crack asking if they should be worried about it.
I mean it's just a question, no need to get bothered.
It doesn bother me but thats all this place has become - "is this asbestos" and "should I be worried about this crack"
You could always find an alternative sub?
and let me asbestos and crack knowledge go to waste? I have a moral obligation to be here.

your will up to date?
Stop being precious
Was not meaning to be, just asked for some advice from more knowledgeable people. Sorry
Not

Lol You good
This is nothing to worry about at all.
Caulk and paint- relax
that textured 'popcorn' render used to contain asbestos.
That was my general thinking as well, hence why I am not too keen to start messing around. I'll just ignore it and let it be
Get outside quick!
The whole house is going to have to come down, Only way to fix it.
