I had a survey done on a house I'm buying - is this roof structurally acceptable or is it dangerous?

For context, it is a 1900s terrace house.

The reason I am asking is because I have been told conflicting things - the survey says it is a problem but another company said it is fine.

Is anyone an expert or roofer who could tell me?

EDIT:

See my comment showing photos from the outside apparently showing "Dishing" of the roof.

In answer to some comments the roof has apparently been like this for 10+ years according to the agent, and the roof was partially replaced due to a fire. I do not have any evidence for this.
