Help, load-bearing wall

[Rudis]

Hello,

My partner and I are interested buyers of a house and I would need to consult you knowledgeable people about whether the marked walls are load-bearing.
It's a 70s villa with a basement, walls are on the upper floor.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

My partner and I are interested in a house, and I would like to consult with you knowledgeable folks on whether the marked walls are load-bearing?

That drawing says very little about it, I would say, without more information.

But if it's a typical wooden house with a gable roof along the length, those walls should not be load-bearing. It doesn't look very large either (it's primarily the width you should look at), but in some houses, there is a heart wall (along the length) if, for example, the roof trusses have been exchanged for some reason. Then the little "u-bit" on your drawing might have such a function.

But if it is a regular wooden house with a gable roof in the longitudinal direction, those walls should not be load-bearing. It doesn't look very large either (it's the width you should primarily look at), but in some houses, there is a "hjärtvägg" (in the longitudinal direction) if, for example, the trusses are doubled up for some reason. Then the small "u-snutten" on your drawing could have such a function.

Hi,

The house is 106m² and it is a regular wooden house with a gable roof as you write. I don't have the width, but I would guess it is about 6-7m wide. We will look at the house next weekend, and then I will have the opportunity to look at the attic and see how the trusses are positioned.

Hello,

The house is 106 square meters and it is a standard wooden house with a gable roof as you mentioned. I don't have access to the width, but I would guess it is around 6-7 meters wide. We will be looking at the house next weekend and then I will have the opportunity to check the attic and see how the trusses are positioned.

You can also remove load-bearing walls, you just have to offset it correctly...
