I’d agree with floor plan inaccuracy, but in this case, the floor plan is largely correct, but in comparison with the original lease floor plan, there’s been a fairly significant layout change (removal of kitchen wall, and shuffling things anti clockwise)
I would defer to the experience of the structural surveyor in this case, and assume it’s not a problem.
Can’t really get the seller to pay for indemnity insurance against the possible risk of removing a structural wall without correct certification/building control, when a surveyor says it’s not a structural wall.
If it was done ages ago, and upstairs hasn’t had any issues, then I wouldn’t worry. Solicitor will probably defer to the surveyor response, but they could raise it as an enquiry to the seller as to details of when it was done, and whether they needed to obtain building Reg’s approval at the time.
If they did need building regs, then that’s when they will probably suggest an indemnity policy to get the deal done.

Floor plan drawn by estate agents are not always 100% internally.
My original floor plan still show the toliet door is outside of the house and no bathroom.
