timber is worse and a thatch roof just avoid!
I wonder if the issue arises for timber framed construction cause that can have just as significant pitfalls if done poorly.
And when you've got subbies on a price, shortcuts and all that .
Ah a little bit of grip fill will be enough.
Ooh did I tear that breather membrane.
There's enough history behind concrete now that should be settled by a decent surveyor.
Damp, subsidence, can't drill into it, seriously cold in winters, way way way too hot in summers... Just stay away if I were you mate
Alot of tile hill no fines for example were only meant to be livable for around 50 years...
Sounds right a right shit one this shmmeee. If it was me I’d be drawing a line under it based on all the problems listed. I get the feeling of when it’s right it’s right on a house but there’s too many reasons not to here. And you never know what could come up in the future and the need to sell. Sounds like even that would be tricky.
It does. The house I grew up in was non standard of timber construction (Canadian design). Very difficult to get a mortgage due to the fire risk I believe.I wonder if the issue arises for timber framed construction cause that can have just as significant pitfalls if done poorly.

Depends which form of construction, in terms of whether designed to last.The problem with those houses is they wasn’t meant to last and now the reinforce metal inside the concrete blows out then you get damp and cracks everywhere 1950s and 1960s Housing | Adventures in Modernism

Unless you are 100% in love with this and it's going so cheap you'll never get a better bargin ... move on.
My daughter was besotted with a potential money pit, would have been her first house after 10 years of renting. She's now happy in something much better for the same price.

Need replacing relatively regularly. They're not something to have on a budget!always wondered about them, look great right enough.
I really like the ones in Canada, have looked through houses there and most of them are Timber.It does. The house I grew up in was non standard of timber construction (Canadian design). Very difficult to get a mortgage due to the fire risk I believe.
It's funny really, my last house was a new build and aside from the brick skin they're as good as timber framed.

Lived in Canada for a year, it’s pretty common once you’re outside the big cities to buy a huge plot of land and build your own place exactly how you want it.I really like the ones in Canada, have looked through houses there and most of them are Timber.
