Sloping floors in basement...Need some help please

Hello, I am about to purchase a house with sloping floors in the basement. Half of the basement is sloping to one side and it is evenly sloping. I've called a structural engineer to make sure it wasn't a foundation issue and he did say this was not a foundation issue, but more a cosmetic issue. So, knowing this, I put down 3k in earnest money, but I heard this is not easy to fix because the basement is finished. That one side will have to go up at least 4 inches to be level with everything else and it might mean tearing out the bathroom and redoing the whole furnace and everything from what a contractor was saying. I'm not sure if he just doesn't have experience, but does anyone know how to solve this issue? I had another guy say just lay some self leveling and made it sound easy.. Please help. Thanks.
