As a structural engineer I often get asked by people in a panic trying to buy/sell, to provide calcs or a report for walls or chimney breasts etc taken out previously without building control approval.
I think my parents had the right paperwork when they took out a chimney breast 30+ years ago but I've no idea where it is. I'd have thought the lack of falling down would be more helpful though. Different if it was recent.
As for £0 valuations; that would be ace for probate, more details please!

If the layout doesn't match the plans on record, then solicitors and surveyors will ask questions and may want proof of compliance. Valuations for a mortgage are often £0 until this is sorted.
