I think it has a fair way to move before that happens, and would
be pretty obvious that something bad is about to happen. Houses
very rarely spontaneously self destruct without warning.

Please say your not sure. All it can take is some ground movement or a
heavy lorry passing the building, to take any precarious structure over the
edge. Do you know that the joist are still properly seated on their
retainers ? Have the joists moved out of their original position and are
now sitting on crumbling mortar.
A low flying jet from RAF Leuchars, brought down a cottage in the wilds of
the Ayrshire country side. So please, if you can see that the movement is
continuing at a pretty even rate over short periods of time, then have it
looked at properly. We'd all miss you.
