relocating internal brick walls in a double brick house

For the life of me I can not find any information on this. We have a double brick house with brick internal walls. The house is raised ~1m off the ground with suspended floor boards, so the internal brick walls all go down though the floor and have their own foundations underneath the house. This seems to make relocating internal walls an impossible (and/or expensive) proposition, as new foundations would have to be laid underneath the house, and the walls built all the way up through the floor in their new location.

Is there some cheaper/easier way to do this? I know we could just knock down existing walls and put stud walls up in the new locations, but these would
a) have a completely different finish to the existing plastered brick
b) cause cracking (i think) where they join the brick walls due to the different thermal properties.

is it just impossible to internally reconfigure this kind of double brick house?
