How should I describe a shift at a bay window in an enquiry?
Say where the shift is and how long you have noticed it. Mention any door or window that catches. A local specialist can arrange crack monitoring if the movement needs watching.

Note which window sticks and whether it has altered. Look at any opening around the frame. A local specialist can check wall ties or another cause.

Is underpinning going to be necessary?

Underpinning is only recommended by the specialist when the investigation results show the foundations genuinely need it.
