Building regs- load bearing walls

Posts: 8 Forumite
Hi All,
I am in the process of selling my house, the buyers solicitor is asking loads of questions... one of them is..
Further to the Sellers replies at 4.1, please confirm whether the wall was load bearing, if so please provide the building regulation certificate for the same
When I moved into the house there was a single glazed sliding door between the lounge and dinning room..
My builder put in a stud wall and it’s been fine ever since...
How do I know if it’s load bearing?
I thought because I’m filling in a whole rather that creating one I wouldn’t need any building regs.. (tbh it’s what I think now, didn’t even then about it at the time)
Can anyone help?

You reply telling them that nothing has been removed so the question is not applicable. The wall is intact.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

If the house was originally built with a sliding door between the two rooms, I would agree, but... Removing internal walls and installing doors was (and still is) quite a popular thing. If the house has been subjected to such an ordeal, then the correct response would be "Do not have copies of building regs certificate for the removal of the original wall (predates my ownership)".Doozergirl said: You reply telling them that nothing has been removed so the question is not applicable.

Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –
