So the vendor has now changed the story to they did remove a wall but it was a stud wall and that doesn't require any building regs certificates (which I think is true, not 100%).

Obviously my issue is how can I tell if this is really the case? The wall isn't there anymore so hard to tell if it was load bearing.

Its not necessarily impossible to tell.

A decent surveyor should be able to look at the thickness of the joists above it, the direction that they run in and surrounding structures to make a reliable educated guess.

Edit, they certainly they should be able to tell if an intrusive survey is required.
