Hello,
I just bought a Hultsfred house from 1959. I've understood that it's a fairly common model. 87 sqm area, equally large basement. Unfinished attic.
I would like to do some remodeling and can't quite figure out which walls are load-bearing. All interior walls seem to be built in the same way, 3"-fiber planks with wood fiber boards on both sides, center-to-center 300.
In the attached images, you can see both the basement and "ground floor" as well as what the walls look like. I am quite sure that the wall with the green arrow is load-bearing. But are the walls with the red and blue arrows also load-bearing? What do you think? How can I best find this out?
Thanks in advance!

Risk that the walls drawn on the section drawing are load-bearing, i.e., exterior walls and interior walls roughly under the roof ridge, meaning walls with green and red arrows.
To be completely sure, you should probably hire a structural engineer to check on-site. Such a professional can also size beams and columns for a construction notice if you decide to remove a load-bearing wall.
