If you are buying in England or Wales (the Scottish system is different), then you are not committed to buying this property until contracts are exchanged which means that you can cancel at any time before that stage. If you decide to go ahead, then I would say that it is in your best interests to commission the structural engineer's report and you could then use the report itself as a bargaining tool to renegotiate the purchase price based on the repairs that will need to be carried out. Good luck, whatever you decide.
