Hello,
My first post here. I have bought a townhouse and am wondering which interior walls are load-bearing? I assume that the interior wall between the hall and the living room is load-bearing because the roof trusses are cut to make room for the dormer? Then I'm unsure if the interior wall between the kitchen and the living room is load-bearing or not? And if any additional walls are load-bearing? I'm attaching a pdf with the drawings I have from the municipality. Very grateful for any answers.

On the ground floor, it is quite clear that the wall dividing the kitchen and living room and its extension is load-bearing. The crossing wall (next to the WC) is also likely to be load-bearing. It is necessary to see a detail of the support of the roof trusses to determine this. Therefore: High risk that all walls on the ground floor are load-bearing.
Hi Justus, thanks for the very quick response.J justusandersson said:
Would it help if I went up to the attic and took pictures of the trusses to find out if the wall next to the WC is load-bearing on the ground floor? I updated the PDF with red markings on the walls that might be load-bearing, did I understand correctly?
I think you can assume that what you have highlighted in red is correct. To change the assessment, you would need to find construction drawings of the roof trusses, but that is probably difficult.
