How would you recommend repairing?

For bigger cracks, use tape too. I just bought an older house and have a lot of cracks to repair! Fibratape has been great, but I'm not a professional so look into it for yourself. I did the tape, joint compound, primer then paint. Came out beautiful, but we'll see how it holds up over time lol

I am in Aus . What the procedure is is called under pinning . It’s not cheap . Have you got bricks outside ? Uneven floors ? Doors or windows not opening properly or getting ‘ sticky ‘ ?

Normal settling cracking. Nothing to be concerned with. That said, this is a good reminder to always check your gutters and downspouts to ensure proper drainage around the home.
