Who pays for House repairs-Buyer or Seller?

This might have been asked before here but the search isn't brining up anything. Also, posting it incase there is an ‘updated’ solution. Found a house, loved it, made an offer, did a detailed survey.

Thanks for all you responses. The update is that I have agreed to proceed with buying the house, spending extra £3k money from my pocket.

To all those pointed out I am too much worrying, yes- I am and I will, because I don't have any idea of what would cause a huge problem, what is a simple thing, for I have not lived in that house. That doesn't mean I shouldn't buy a house at all

I never bothered to look at what is the consequence of buried manhole , but if a forumite say it is an immediate one to be looked at, I will try to get some more information.Thanks
