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.

I think they said 10 years but I'm not 100% on that as it was over the phone. The insurer is HomeProtect.

Can confirm Homeprotect’s timeline is 10 years. Just moved into a house that has had subsidence fixed around 2004. Got 20k off on the back of that and other general shonkiness. Follow-up reports were included in the sale that identified problem and that it hadn’t moved post underpinning. Insurer didn’t ask for these docs, but it was good for our peace of mind. Just need to get the floors a little more level now…

^ 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.
