Contact building regs at your local council to see if there is a record of it.
Indemnity insurance can be set up very quickly.
Your buyer may pull out because of lack of building regs.
Insurance should cost between �150 and �250.
Contact your own insurance company for advice.
The solicitor who dealt with your purchase of this property should have picked this up. You may have a valid claim against him/her.

we never removed any wall, this was done before we moved in and not by the people who lived here before us, and they were here from 2002, we been here a year.
i will be contacting my solicitors back to find out why they never picked this up when we purchased it.
ive found out if it is non load bearing i wont need br, however if it is and the people that did it just bodged it then im in for a stressful, costly and lengthy time!
is there any way to do it at little cost, due to funds quickly draining?

Agreed - if its non-load bearing, there never was an issue. It depends on whether the first floor joists rely on the wall to support them, or whether they span right across from outside wall to outside wall.
The cheapest way to resolve it (if load bearing) is exactly what you are doing - professional inspection and indemnity policy. There probably isn't a problem - it would have moved by now if there was - it doens't stop those professionals digging their heels in though.
