Surveyor has found damp in a house that I have put an offer on

I got caught out by damp caused by condensation in this bungalow.  A local had also offered, and when I said I'd been successful, she said 'congratulations - I hope you find the source of the damp'.  I had a L3 survey booked and thought if there was damp, he'd find it.  Unfortunately not - heavy furniture strategically placed and thick underlay and carpet hid the fact every floor was soaking and rotten.  Turned out the vendor had been 'advised' to have all floors replaced in 2016 - they'd replaced the joists with non-tannalised wood with a plastic bag stapled over the ends.  Huge disruption and £20K later I had to varnish the whole place, three coats, nearly killed me off.
