Needs rewiring, wall ties need checking, needs external rendering, roof needs checking, feels every inch of a century old. Not sure if scared of work.

Would offer 320 on back off work to be done as sale fell when buyer ran away from a survey, presumably with same jitters we have. Thoughts?

What's wrong with them? They look fine to me.🤔

Not in my experience.
Old wiring can be degrading. Old rings may not be able to cope with more and more added sockets (people now want about 4 doubles per room, my parents' 1960s house has about two singles per room). And kitchens, even more so. Often older wiring has hideously cobbled on spurs all over the place, and the wiring in the walls can be just about anywhere, at any angle. (I'm speaking from experience, here 😬). Older lighting circuits ought not to have metal light switches, either (no earths). Kitchen circuits need much more welly now, esp with induction hobs and ovens which heat up faster, with high initial loads.
When we rewired, we had 2 ring mains put in the kitchen. Older houses may have one for the entire downstairs.

Gorgeous!
