Thanks everyone. @epsilonGreedy It's a solid 2 brick wall. @Temp I wrote to downstairs and their survey didn't mention anything about it. Good point re building control. Will certainly ask.

Hi everyone, Almost ready to exchange on a flat and today a builder pointed out the whole of the back of the building may fall down! It appears there isn't a lintel in place from when the French sliding doors were installed in the downstairs flat. The flats have been owned by the same person, and he has already sold downstairs. He also owns and is looking to sell the freehold. We'd be buying the first floor. Just wondering if anyone has any opinions? We had a building survey done and they didn't say anything about it, but I'm wondering if they've missed something? I've written to them so will find out the surveyors opinion on Monday I assume. In the meantime if anyone can put my mind at rest? Thanks
