There has been no work done to the house in at least five years.

The floorboards upstairs in some areas seem looser and move noticeably when
walking over them and downstairs there is a slight incline where they seem
lower than the rest of the room. Not hugely but I have noticed this over
the last few months.

Floorboards often work loose with time. Usually they are nailed down.
Try screwing the loose ones down to the joists (make sure you don't go
through any pipes or cables though!).

A slight incline probably is just caused by the joists sagging with
age. However, if this had dropped noticably in a few months, I would
suggest that you get it checked out.
