Undisclosed fire damage ,discovered three years later.

when I purchased my house I was not informed there was a fire in the house. My solicitor is saying there is nothing that can be done, buyer beware . I had an engineers report done. But a clause in his report says he does not remove any structure to investigate.
I have a builder working on the repairs. All four gables in the house show fire damage. The allumium casings covering the eves are in perfect condition. But behind the roof plate and wood structure are burned and scorched. The repair cost is 15 thousand euro.
The original owners must have received compensation to repair all the fire damage. They addressed the smoke damage to the walls, but I am uncertain if any electrical damage occurred to the wiring within the walls or if any such damage was repaired.
The insurance adjuster should have detailed the extent of the damage, including the damage to the four gables. The builder is currently working on the third gable, which also shows signs of fire damage. This suggests that the fire was severe enough to affect all four gables.

While I understand that "buyer beware" is a standard principle, I question its applicability in cases where deception may be involved. Particularly when the owner was compensated for all the fire damage, which should have been comprehensively addressed in the insurance adjuster's report.Under these circumstances, does the principle of "buyer beware" still apply?
