We need more information. Structural issues can be small or very big. Remember, the person doing an inspection has to over report everything possible because if they don't , and something major happens after the sale, they can be sued. For me, I would take a look at how serious the issues are and decide if working on them is worth the time/effort/investment. I wouldn't buy a car that had the front end crushed in an accident because, even after the repair, the final product is not something I would want to drive or have to deal with.
I guess I can do an update once I have the report in writing. Someone has made the point that the surveyor will 'over-survey' to cover their arse, but for sure I'm very much leaning into the possibility that this purchase isn't viable. Thanks.
