So I am thinking of buying a house. It appears that a wall has been removed and the job was not finished. The floor and ceiling have not been patched/replaced. I am unsure if the wall was load bearing. Obviously, I would have a home inspection done before buying the house, but my question is....if the wall was load bearing and they didn't put a supporting beam in, can that still be done? I have no way of knowing how long it's been. Maybe 5 days ago, maybe 5 years ago. Any idea how long before major damage starts to set in? The house is one story and only 15 years old. Should I just walk away?
Edited to add a picture. I haven't been able to see the inside in person, yet, hope to this weekend.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
