I don't want to come out the dickhead in this.
If they've accepted an offer, knowing that the house needs major remedial works but not bothering to disclose that before accepting the offer, then I'd be pretty sure that you're not the dickhead in this case. It might be a bit unreasonable to expect a discount representing the entire price of the works, but I can't see there's anything wrong in expecting a discount representing most of it, especially when they knew it needed to be done.
