Victorian Terrace.
@TW This was just a general full survey including structural on a house we've had an offer accepted on
apc-
Victorian Terrace.
Typically didn't come with concrete floors. Why / how / when was it done? If you can answer that you can get a feel for the risk it poses of causing problems in the future.

Having owned a VT with a retro fitted concrete floor for two years, I would say steer clear. Concrete is non-porous, the mortar in the walls is very porous, so if there's excessive moisture under the floor it'll come up the walls until it gets above the slab. That said, if he recons the walls are dry it may not be a problem. I have recently found another reason that may behind the moisture under my house being so high, so without that it may be fine.
Understairs cupboards are always musty, might just need a few vents.

What @Howard & @Silly_Savage said, and why I asked - remedial work would be do dig up the concrete floor. Which can do one.
[Edit] If the plastic is a bodge to fix a damp problem caused by the concrete floor, I'd suggest that resin is a bodge too.

What kind of house is it? Age / Period?
I'd only fix damp stuff if there is an actual problem but if a concrete floor has been retrofitted in to an older property that should have a suspended floor it's worth finding out why and how it was done
