Yes prices are iniquitous but it’s lovely 
if you have time swing by the Beyeler foundation just outside Basel and feast your eyes.

Oh my gosh, this is terrible! I can’t even imagine… 
Tonight’s latest news… folk are missing… and (as yet) there’s no confirmed cause for the disaster…
I think that your landlord is playing this down because he will not find another tenant with all those cracks in the house.
Leave.

Depends how legal the UK owner is,
@OP, I would still find somewhere else as the landlord will have a tough time re letting a building with the faults you describe its then entirely their problem and you can get on with your life
I wonder if the landlord has had an offer from a developer and sees this as an easy way to get rid of the tenant.
Now that is really pushing the conspiracy envelope! Easy to get a tenant to leave if you want to sell a property, so why risk a human disaster.

because he doesn’t care one way or the other.
The developer suggestion may be the only way this makes sense though as it’s the only one in that the condition of the existing building doesn’t matter, it seems far more likely that he just needed the income and for whatever reason wasn’t in a position (lack of insurance or whatever it may be) to get it dealt with so was just playing deaf and dumb to keep the rent coming in while he crosses his fingers nothing bad happens. Which is a ridiculous idea obviously but people often aren’t logical or sensible.
