Errrrr.... but you said in post above "offered to have a structural survey performed".partialycloudy wrote: »yes the structural engineer will be lifting the floor boards/drilling holes....not the EA LOL
This is normally done by a Surveyor, not a Structural Engineer (despite the confusing use of the word 'structural').
To be clear - you need a Structural Engineer, not a (chartered) surveyor.
A structural survey dne by a surveyor will say:
"It is unclear whether the removal of the wall was underataken with adequate support for the weight above, and we recommend instructing a Structural Engineer to understake a report"
