You can buy subject to enquiry of encumbrances or charges on the property.
Consideration should be paid separately to them.
As flat is their individual property their children have no right in it.

Engage a property lawyer locally to do it formally.

Yes, I find no risk involved in buying a property from a divorced couple.

Make sale consideration to both of them separately.No risk.Children can not claim as the property belongs to their parents and the same is being sold by their parents.
