I live in a street where the has been some subsidence in some of the

I saw a crack in the render, and pulled some of it off to reveal a
crack in the brick running down the side of the house from about
halfway up the house to the bottom. The crack is actually in the
bricks, not in the mortar between them.

Should my first course of action be to consult a structural engineer?
What would he do and how much would he charge?

You _may_ be better consulting your insurers first. That way _they may_
pay for the investigative work.
