My take on this is that if a survey flags up something major like a bay window that needs underpinning, rotten joists etc then it’s a negotiating point.
anything immediately obvious just by looking without an expert opinion (old style consumer unit/broken tiles etc) which isn’t a huge undertaking on purchase then it’s for the buyer to deal with.
but this is from a standpoint of having multiple offers after 3 days on the market, if you have struggled to get a buyer then a different view on what’s reasonable might be an order.
you can’t buy a fixer-upper and expect the seller to do all the work for you...
