Timber frame construction with a fibreglass cladding

Hi everyone
I am about to buy a house in Cornwall that was built in 1975, made of timber frame construction with a fibreglass cladding. Got the home report and it highlighted issues with Roof leaking, but this is under investigation and should have a quote for repair. Also, some condensation which will be dealt with with better heating and ventilation. However, I am so worried about the fact that the house is built out of wood, not bricks or stone? considering the age of the house, would it survive for more years? Any advice please, did anybody is/was in the same situations. Thanks in advance for all your replies
