I have had a wall removed between the dining room and kitchen. It is a load bearing wall.
It’s a terrace house and the wall removed wasn’t long- about 1.8m roughly.
The builder put a lintel in.
I didn’t get an engineer or surveyor to sign this off prior to knocking down the wall because I didn’t know you had to.
I am aware I may need a certificate for when I sell my house.
What are the steps I take now? How will an engineer assess if it’s safe and how much damage will be done to my wall?
If, worse case scenario, it’s not safe, what happens next.
