You need to take a view based on the work. If there's something significant which devalues the property, that's one thing. If it's work that you expect given the price then I think you're entitled to say no.
Long term we probably need to do work on the roof (if we get it), but it's not structural and it can wait. So we didn't bother asking for money off.
When my mum sold my Granny's house the buyers came back asking for money off post survey. But in reality they were just listing the modernisation works required... which was exactly why the house was on for £20k less than the neighbours. So she just said no.

He's offered to show me the report. If he and for any reductions I'll be looking at it in detail.
BTW, already replied to his overtures with a firm statement that I won't be giving him any money off for anything less than significant structural defects.
