A question about : Cracks in ceiling

I have recently been to look at an end terrace house to buy. The property has been empty for about eight months. Whilst it looks very tidy outside, most of the ceilings are artexed and are cracked. Some just hairline but one room in particular, downstairs has cracked in the middle of the room.

The walls all appear straight and the doors close straight and there is no sagging but some of the artex looks quite new which suggests to me it is covering something up. There are no cracks on the outside of the building although the front has been painted fairly recently.

An internal wall has been removed to make a through lounge with glazed doors inbetween, was wondering if this could be a factor?

The property is well priced but I am wondering why it hasn't sold apart from the fact that there is no possibility of parking right in front of the house and there is no way to turn a car around, you have to reverse out. There is limited parking on the street though.
