Several things, neg. Firstly, just taking out the door would not be structural. I guess the opening has been widened?
That would need Building Regs Approval. That is the responsibility of the builder. A waste of time trying to find him I guess.
Local Building Control could, if they wanted to, ask the vendor for a retrospective Approval to "regularise" the situation.
It's the vendor's problem.
If B/Control have not been made aware of any of this, then the usual solution today is an Indemnity Insurance, which the vendor should take out.
Alternatively, a retrospective Approval wouldn't be a great problem. The trouble is, although a Retrospective is the proper solution, it may cost more than the Insurance. There would be a B/Control fee plus Structural Engineer's fees to calculate the steel beam.
I would either have a sum knocked off the price of the house, or better still, have the vendor sort it out. He's the one trying to sell a property with a "problem".
