I had all this when I was selling. Under offer September 2021, buyers survey done in the first week of December 2021, end of jan 2022 the cunt announces he want 10k off to replace the gutters and windows and a load of other random stuff.
All the gutters were new in 2014, the windows were from 2006 so old but still fine, and the other random stuff was routine maintenance.
It still grinds my gears thinking about it because it was incredibly stressful and I was absolutely raging about it.
My brother in law owns the house behind the one I sold and the bloke that purchased mine has done absolutely nothing with it in 2 years since buying it despite him saying the works required were urgent. Fucking cunt.

So it turns out the 6.5k our buyer wanted off was mostly just a list of routine maintenance expenditures that the survey flagged. You'll be disappointed to know that I conceded 1.5k for 'damp treatment'. Taking some solace in the fact that the damp patch on our living room wall is actually a symptom of a retro-fitted concrete floor that will take way more than that to sort out properly, and the wall has already been tanked so it'll be a bastard to do again.
