Know any builders? Surveyors? Get the estate agent to arrange another viewing so they can have a poke around and tell you a bit more about its construction and their opinion on it.
Failing that take someone who at least knows what to look for, just did this for a friend of mine, spotted things she wouldn’t have known to look for.
Modern consumer unit with just 2 breakers, boarded flat roof ceilings that hid some artex which was visible in wardrobes as ceiling was higher.
System not combi boiler with a tank and pump, tank was old but new expansion vessel very odd set-up for a flat.
Marley tiles under carpets.
Wall in kitchen was further back than the lounge off it, turns out lounge had been insulated as end gable wall but not the kitchen.In the end an asbestos survey found it in the artex and the Marley tiles, not a massive issue as 90% of ceilings boarded and fine to ‘leave in place’ but pulled out for a few other reasons.
Wish I had somebody to do this for me the first time i bought.

Timber framed was the only info I’ve been given. I’ve asked the estate agent for more info but I’ve got none at the minute. To be it looked like a normal brick/stone house.
