RSJ problems, legal and otherwise

[doowot]

I want to knock through from lounge to the dining room, with an RSJ support. There are six foot radiators each side of the wall....I'm informed that it's not a supporting wall, but am worried about selling in the future. Do I need to have inspections before and after?..if so who do I approach and how long would this take to inspect etc?
Any help would be grateful.

You've been informed its non structural by who? also if its non structural why need an RSJ?

sometimes internal walls (loadbearing or otherwise ) can act as lateral restraints to help prevent adjascant walls from spreading.
