There will be some loading that low down, although increasing in risk as you remove more masonry and the more you climb above floor level. As a precaution, we would prop the beams and maybe include strongy prop just to prevent localised dropping.

Don't forget to include DPC in your repairs if you disturb the existing.
 
Thanks yeah , im fitting a new dpc along the whole of the inner skin i have this last section to do but ive uncovered how poor this corner is , like i say the house once returned here so this would of been the corner of the house and carried on where the red lines are , the builder ad the time has just smashed this off and its all well ruff and patched up with cement and missing bricks u want to rebuild the yellow marked section but would i need to prop where the blue markings are as i presume all weight will be on this corner
