The seller is generally speaking, not obliged to tell you about any defects at the property. The seller is not guaranting its condition to you and you are legally accepting its condition as at the time that you exchange contracts, unless the seller is in the process of building or converting it.
The exception is that if the seller actually knowingly tries to hide or disguise a physical defect so as to prevent you from finding it on inspection. This is likely to be viewed as false representation and you may have a potential claim. As with all matters, seek the legal advice of your conveyancing solicitor straight away.
