Gap in roof tiles, flat roof

Posts: 132 Forumite
I am looking at a detached house to buy.
It appears to have slopped roofs on 4 sides. But at the very top is a flat area about the size of a car (I can tell from google maps).
From the back, when looking at the roof, it appears that a slab/tile on the edge of the flat roof is missing. Could this be by design (for drainage?), or is it a definite flaw? There also appears to be missing mortar betwen some of the slabs/tiles.
I haven't got round to asking the vendor about the problem yet. And am not sure whether to ask about it, make an offer and then ask about it, or something else?
Attached is a photo of the top of the house from google maps.
