The seller is the executor of a will, so im not sure if emotion will come in to it. They are just looking to get as much P as possible.
I think I will have to ask the question, but I am quite set on the little shithole.
@Dramatic_Hammer, you dont happen to know how historic historic is with your insurers? I can research as well.

^ same except the seller lost £50k
Depends how pragmatic / reasonable the seller is feeling and how much of a total bastard their estate agent is.
We simply asked the seller to discount by 20 years of increased insurance premiums which was about £10k. Tbh that probably wasn’t aggressive enough and their estate agent was a total bastard who thought we were a pushover.
We found another house and told them to do one when they wouldn’t negotiate. Which was satisfying but a waste of everyone’s time and money.
Talk to the seller directly if you can, explain your concerns.
