I'm also interested in whether the living room/dining room wall is load bearing. The new tenant would also like us to move the hallway/living room door from where it is to at the bottom of the stairs. How simple is it to do that? If anyone can give me a good idea of which walls are load bearing, that would be super helpful.

Hi, we are planning to make some changes to a rental property. We are new to all of this and on a budget. Learning about needing permission etc before anything can happen,we will not do anything until signed off to do so. However, if it's going to cost getting permission and a few thousand (if it is load bearing making it not a DIY job) this is a change we may well not be able to make. How can I tell if it's load bearing before we even consider getting a SE in and applying for permission? It's a loo and a utility cupboard. We want to open it up into one room.
