There is no reason to paint the devil on the wall the way hempularen does and generally advise against buying 70s houses. There are many problem-free houses, and a moisture content of 22% in an impregnated sill is not synonymous with the house needing to be demolished. There is a reason that the sill is impregnated and it is still allowed to use impregnated sills in new constructions today.

Today, there is a lot of knowledge about how potential problems can be addressed, and in this specific case, there are also a number of identical houses, so any problems and suitable solutions can surely be found. But of course, it involves work and hassle if measures are required.
You cannot compare today's treated timber with that from the 70s, isn't it the old type of pressure impregnation that can start to smell if I understand correctly?
