Non Standard Construction Properties gives Affordable Housing
As the recession begins to take hold and the availability of mortgages is reducing its even more difficult to find an affordable home, non-traditional construction properties could offer a viable alternative
Non traditional construction or prefabricated concrete properties where originally designed as temporary housing as a solution to soldiers returning home after the Second World War and bomb damaged properties.
These temporary properties where built by Councils as part of their housing stock to be rented out as council houses. When the Conservatives introduced Right To Buy in the 1980′s these council houses where sold to the tenants at a discounted price.
Estate Agents or valuers have always struggled to value these properties in contrast to traditionally built properties as most mortgage lenders are unable to lend against this type or property security as they still class prefabricated reinforced concrete houses as temporary despite being habitable in the 21st century.
After the war around 1 million 250,000 non standard construction properties were built which now offers the UK buy to let investor or home mover access to affordable housing.
The majority of non standard property are ex council flats, maisonettes, semi detached or bungalows some of the more popular PRC build types are Reema Hollow Panel, Woolawy Bungalow, Wimpey No Fines and waites construction.
