It's an early 1900s stone-built terrace in a Welsh valley town, so damp is to be expected, but should I be worried? Roof issues are my main concern and will likely send us back to the seller to renegotiate, but any views would be incredibly appreciated cos I have no idea what I'm doing here.

I mean, at face value there are some serious problems. But was it sold (and priced) to you as a palace? Seems the roof is probably leaking and a bit shit, the extension is shoddy, the windows are basic and have issues and overall it hasn't been maintained. Does this information surprise you?

That's a very fair summary, cheers - was definitely priced a little higher than other places on the same street, but far from palace pricing either. Windows are no surprise given we already knew they're at least 15 years old, so roof is the only real surprise. Already reaching out to local roofers to get a gauge on what it'd cost to repair, and will likely go from there.
