Hey guys

My wife and I have just bought a house, quite a few weeks out from settlement so we don't actually have access to the property to be able to check this/get this checked.

In the photo there is a living room with two internal walls and a doorway enclosing a kitchen. We are tossing up ideas at the moment and are wondering if those two walls can be removed, whether they are load bearing, if anyone is able to tell from looking at the picture and having an idea of how this particular designed structure works or if we need to wait till we are in to get a professional to look at it.

Because we would really like to open up that kitchen but at this stage not sure if that wall can be taken down easily or if it will need to be properly supported. As I said, we will get a professional in to tell us as soon as we have possession of the house but till then want to brainstorm what could be done with the space.

Cheers

(This real estate listing photo is all I have unfortunately!)

The other thing to consider is if the wall is a bracing wall or not. You should get the building plans off the council.
