Well...
There is no way to know anything at all about the difficulty from looking at a floorplan. It's just an observation.
And I am in the middle of a project which includes relocating 27 different plumbing fixtures in a slab, so I guess you know my perspective. 
Residential kitchens pretty much have only 1 drain, and it's a small one. Relocating is rarely very difficult, even if it is a slab.
But moving the kitchen is always a pretty big job.
Any other comments about the settling issues/ tree? That's what I'm mostly worried about/

Getting rid of the tree involves lots and lots of permitting and all kinds of fun stuff. These Grand Oaks are well protected around here.
Regarding the cracks, you cant see the ones pictured as they are covered with a cheap laminate now. I would probably cover with a floating wood floor.
I like trees.
The reason I carry insurance is because I want it to repair my house if the trees damage it.
I almost never take down a tree.
But that tree is very old, and extremely overgrown. I think it is past it's serviceable life, and poses a pretty good risk. So, I would think about taking it down...
...or buying more insurance.
In reply to Enyar:
I don't know this for a fact, but I heard copper nails will kill a tree. Only problem in your case.. the tree is over the house. So don't kill the trees, it might backfire. Have 'em removed.
If you buy it.
