They added 2 bedrooms! How is that cheap as chips?
Also with the greatest of respect how can you tell if there is anything wrong with the dormers? In order for the house to be sold as 5 bedrooms the loft conversion would have had to be inspected and signed off by the DS. I've built about 20 loft conversions in my time so know a fair bit about the process and what is right/wrong. I wouldn't be able to spot anything wrong from one of those pictures.
Whoever did the work on that house has taken on a sizable risk, paid for the work to be done, while the work has been ongoing had to pay the mortgage, utilities, council tax etc. Its also worth noting that they'll have to continue paying this until the house is sold. And you want them to do this out of the goodness of their own hearts?

Ah ok missed that, apologies. Thought they had just painted it, changed carpets and slapped in a cheap kitchen.

council tax
I agree with your sentiment, but just on the council tax, can't you contact the council and not pay if you haven't started living there?. I'm sure thats what my mate did while he waited to move into a new place that was having major works done.

The loft conversion alone would have been 40 grand give or take

Bloody chancers!
If you bought that place for £1m you’d still want to put in £50-100k to fix the extension out the back and sort out the dormers.
Cheap as chips refurb with a lick of Dulux ‘polished pebble’ is not going to add £150k of value in a falling market!
