Zoom in on the downloaded second image. By the back wall, second floor. You can see the back wall separating from the side walls.
The next house in the row is almost ready to go as well.

The curse of old unregulated, cheep, building practices. No or substandard foundations. They start to fail underground, normally to roll under the load and vibration. This allows the walls to drift apart. Old morter and old brick crumble like dry crackers.
