Extension onto old house

    We refurbished old family home 3 years ago. It's a small cottage. It's originally about 150 years old and there was an extension built in the 1950's.
    We are now looking to extend the house but the original part of the house actually does not have any foundations as such. Will this be a problem if we plough ahead with new extension? Sorry if my question is stupid but I'm a bit clueless where all this is concerned. Thanks in advance. :)

    You may need an engineer to adequately design in and around that area with either underpinning or similar or he may go a different route. But the engineer only will make that call.
