Some questions:

Buildings of that era had no foundations, true?

Often true.


Does underpinning cure, or postpone, a problem?

If done properly, it cures it.


What is the cost of errecting a new traditionally built bog-standard
detached house with two to three bedrooms?

No idea!


If house has stood anyway for 150 years, it's likely to remain for a
good few years yet, true?


Depends where it is. Many older houses near main roads are now suffering
from vibrations caused by increasingly heavy lorries going past. If it isn't
on a lorry route it's got a better chance of surviving.
