Gotcha. Yep. Solicitor to resolve, but i wouldn't be telling anyone to fuck off, I'd be making sure the seller either resolved now or provided financial cover for the buyer to resolve.

Turns out a few posts later I didn’t misread above. I wasn’t sure if it was an aggy neighbour notifying you of works that needed going for their property, in which case as above, not your problem, or a benevolent neighbour giving you a heads up about neglected issues with the property you are buying - in which case the ‘revert to surveyor’ instruction makes more sense.
Not a direct reply at owl.

I seems we agree, but you write better. I don't know the legal implications if it will affect the new buyer once they own it (if it was historic issue). But either way, its a solicitor issue to resolve, no? Either to resolve, withhold cash or else. It's not the new buyers problem, to pay for fixing. This is what you pay a solicitor for.
