[UK] Looking to buy/ rehome a 17 month old maltipoo bitch. Red flags?

Found on Pets4Homes as a private seller. They’re selling their family pet as they no longer have the time for the dog and are separating. Text and spoken over the phone to the seller who seems genuine however I am concerned that the seller she bought the puppy from originally was not genuine, and about the quality of upbringing the puppy had. She went to pick up the puppy from the home and said it was a clean and tidy.

Red flags: She bought the dog from a private seller (no license), no receipt of sale, seller saw the puppy with her puppy siblings (that looked happy and sociable) but not with it’s mother as it was ‘out for routine checkups’ at the time, paperwork from first vet has the wrong breed name on it which has been changed now to a maltipoo. She has not been spayed yet.

I am conflicted because this is my first time buying a dog, the seller seems nice and sounds like has provided the dog with a really lovely home and the dog seems to have a good temperament Etc. however I’m just not sure about these red flags and wanted to know if I was over reacting. Price is very reasonable for the breed.

We are due to meet at her home for a visit on Monday.

Any help appreciated.
