It's a slightly odd decision to replace 3 out of 4 and not just do the whole lot, but I would assume there is a reason for that. Whether it's a good reason or not is of course open to debate.
I'd normally replace all the belts when I buy a car, just because - they're a lot cheaper than replacing all the valves for e.g.
I'd chalk this one up to experience, but I'd also use this as a nudge to go through the history file and check the age of the various belts, pumps, plugs, filters, oils and fluids.
For reference, if I strip out all the stuff I did because I wanted too (new suspension, paint etc) here's where I would stand with my car - note the declining service costs!
