Now I've clicked it, I share @TW 's general suspicion about that house.
I'd say the ground levels outside are above the damp proof course and there are no air bricks. It also has cement render outside and old double glazing with no trickle vents. It'll be a damp fest.
I'd need some serious reassurance that the person who renovated it knew what they were doing.
Pay for the big survey.

Also - they took it off the market when you weren't even sold stc? This means you've offered too much. They must have been really certain no one else would pay that much to make it worth the risk.

Obvs get your own surveyor, but looking at the bricks on the house to the left, the render on this one may be covering up something. Also, all the other houses have vents galore in the walls - this one has none. Was it built at the same time, or knocked up more recently?
