is this offer reasonable and worth buying?

I offered £178,000 for a terrace property in Hillrise area in Romford. 3 bedroom 1 reception 1 dining and 1 bathroom with a conservatory. the bedroom ceiling shows a long linear mark of repair across the ceiling. The vendor says a pipe line gone through this.
Does any one tell me if this offer is correct and the property is worth buying given the crack/cut

    Right Move link?
  • Its obvious, you should have offered £184,201.37.

    Or not bothered because its falling down.

    Toss a coin.
    Act in haste, repent at leisure.

    If you're happy to pay £178,000 for it then offer and see what the surveyors report says. If they see it as an issue you have room to lower the price accordingly.
