Sellers removed doors between conservatory and house, should we worry about the structural strength

Hi there, We are currently in the process of buying our first house and have gone through a lot of the process already and are almost at the point of exchanging of contracts. However, it has been highlighted by the current owners that the doors between the conservatory and the house were removed without any building regulation sign off and/or planning permission. We do like the open plan layout, and it was one of the reasons we liked the house initially, however we thought this would have had the correct documentation / checks carried out. We would just like to know what is the best next steps for us to take? Could this be a huge problem in regards to the structure of the house? And, moreover, if we were to sell in the future would this continue to be a problem that we would need to fix in the future? Thanks so much in advance, J
