I am so very sorry for your loss, like other said take the money and run, what about the hospital costs, that could easily have been higher than the cost of the pup

So so sorry about your little one.
I don't know what type of health checks the vets do on puppies in the UK, but unless you request more the ones here pretty much just look the dog over, listen to their heart, feel their knees and if you bring one in, run a stool sample. I doubt that type of check up would have shown up the kidney problem. What I did with Lola was paid extra to have a complete blood panel done on her the morning after I got her, I am not a vet so I don't know if kidney problems like this pup had would have shown up but I wanted a base line and more information than a touchy feely check up would have given me
