Well exactly. The floor is fully concrete according to buyer but according to survey it has spring in it which he thinks suggest that part of it is still suspended timber flooring and thats the part we should get checked out (it has been extended so think it could be part concrete part old style). He thinks that where concrete has been laid it is stopping the ventilation and causing possible rot. Above concrete is tiles and then lino tiles according to vendor. 
If they put it back on the market, i'm sure they will sell quickly due to the area but its whether knowing if it would go through before SD holiday ends or not. 

Okay so if they've extended and they have recent building regs then the council would have asked for the vents to be put in.  Have you looked around the property at the bottom of the extension for the vents or are there sufficient vents still servicing the older part?
As for 'bounciness', the floor levels are never going to be totally level, and if a floor is laid on top you could expect some slight movement.  Doesn't mean there's as issue with it though.

They haven't extended, they've been in the property 20 years and this extension was done around 1990 by the previous owners. They don't have the planning permission or building regs as they were done so long ago. The council doesn't appear to have these either and solicitor has said we wouldn't be able to get them with them being so long ago. 
We haven't no but surveyor said there was a vent which he thought might've been blocked off by the concrete in the report and maybe where the bounciness was coming from. But like you say, if there are layers of flooring put on top of eachother this could be causing it too.
