Affordable Housing found in Non Standard Construction Properties

By Phillip Evans

In these tough economic times where it difficult to get on the housing ladder or awkward to find a property bargain non standard construction properties could offer a viable solution.

Prefabricated reinforced or concrete Non standard build properties where originally designed as accommodation as a temporary solution to a housing shortage after the 2nd World War.

The properties where built by the Local Councils and formed part of the housing stock, when the Right To Buy legislation was enacted by Margaret Thatchers conservative party in the 1980's these houses slowly where sold into private hands as "Right To Buy" exploed in popularity

RICS Valuation Firms have typically valued these properties far below their traditionally built counterparts, as mortgage lenders shy away from lending on Non standard construction or prefabricated reinforced concrete houses as they are still classed temporary, despite them still being perfectly habitable in the 21st century.

It's estimated that there were about 1.25 million (one million two hundred and fifty thousand) of these types of properties built after the war. Which I'm sure you will agree offers a great affordable housing stock.

Enable Finance Ltd provide non standard construction mortgages even if these non standard properties do not have a PRC certificate or have not had remedial works carried out. The more popular non traditional housing is Reema Hollow Panel, Woolawy Bungalow, Wimpey No Fines and waites construction and if not always tend to be ex local authority flats or houses.

PRC or non traditionally built properties could answer some very simple affordable housing solutions for the UK home mover or professional buy to let investor.
