Floorplan advice/ideas

[FunPinkSwan]

Looking at buying a property with this Floorplan (first time buyer, so bear with me) I noticed the bedroom wall between bed 1 & 2 is not supported by any wall below, is that a concern ?? for example I would have thought the area I highlighted in yellow in the lounge would either be a wall or have a RSJ across to support the above bedroom wall above ..

Hope that makes sense ..

Additionally, do you think it’s possible for me to knock down the wall between the dining room and kitchen to enlarge the kitchen as such ?

TIA

Nobody can answer need to know if it’s structural wall missing

If the location of the fireplace in the lounge is original to the house then there would not have been a wall where you've put the yellow line.
The wall you'd like to remove is probably the original back wall of the house, you will be able to remove it, possibly not all of it. You'll need 2 pillars and a support beam strong enough to hold up the house. It's a pretty standard alteration.

The walls between bedrooms are likely just plasterboard so they don't need supporting walls down stairs.

As for the other wall downstairs being removed, nobody on here can tell you - you'll need to get a builder to look at that.

You need a structural engineer to look at it and make the calculations, for the beam, posts and footings. Not a builder.

Perfectly normal for upstairs walls not to match up with downstairs walls. How many houses have you seen where the upstairs layout is exactly the same as downstairs? The upstairs walls are generally non structural partitions.

In regards to removing the wall. It will definitely be possible to remove the lounge / dining room wall. However you will need to get a structural engineers report to confirm if it is load bearing , and if it is then do the calculations on what RSJ is required.

Thank you so much everyone, some great points there !! Things I didn’t even think about . Thank you all

Also one of the standard conveyancing questions the solicitors will ask the seller, is have there been any structural alterations. So if anything has been done, it should come to light then and can be checked to see if it has been done properly.
