Hi
You would have to find out if wall is load bearing.
To do this you would have look what way joists and flooring are running
If the joists are resting on the wall and flooring is running the the same way as the wall , you would have to get engineering drawings made up . Because it will be load bearing
Because it could be a problem if you ever sale the property
