Is there any way that this dark (Almost Black) area can be decreased so that i am able to see the "actual colour/texture" of the under side of this roof.

The reason i say this is that in "real life", you can still see the underside of a roof and the texture, not just darkness.

Also, can this be fixed in any other way than placing a light next to the area, or modifying the position of the light/sun objects.
Yes.

By Graphisoft licensing Radiosity module for Lightworks.

Until you do the Radiosity, the shadow will be black until you put in the fill light.

But:

Think about this:

In life, we NEVER stare at one point, our gaze flits around and the eyes adjust automatically. So, therefore, if you do stare at the sun drenched wall, the shadow next to it IS black - at that exposure. Only, your eye already saw the underside at the roof at a different exposure, and your mind is automatically making a composite image.

Hm?
