We have a crack running down the back of our property and it runs from the
bottom right of the window to the top right of the patio doors, it has cracked
one brick right down the middle. The crack was there when we moved in 3 years
ago and has not noticeably moved.

We recently had a home buyer survey carried out and he was not sure if it was
settling or something more serious.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

First pic is useless, looks like you covered up the crack with a black marker.
The answer the home inspector gave you is probably the answer most people will
give you. Is there any other evidence of problems in that area? Does it
have a basement? If so, any evidence of movements in the blocks? How old
is the house? The fact that it hasn't gotten worse in 3 years is good.

The marker just outlined the area; the crack is in RH third/fourth of
the image...

Looks like it's sitting on a ledger of first floor? What's actually
that white but looks like it's the top of a patio slider door or the like.

If that supposition is correct, it didn't have enough header/masonry
support...
