It is, of course, best to have a structural engineer go out there and do as I always say "design appropriate repairs".
Your only extra cost is for the engineer, and the few hundred they will likely charge is well worth the piece of mind you will have owning it, and when you sell - just pull out that piece of paper which says 'do it this way' and 'yep, it was done that way'.
