Non Standard Construction Properties Offers Affordable Housing

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.

Non standard construction or prefabricated reinforced concrete properties where originally designed as temporary accommodation as a solution to a housing shortage after the Second World War.

Most of the properties where built by the Local Authorities and formed part of the housing stock, when the Right To Buy legislation was enacted by the conservative party in the 1980's these properties slowly where sold into private ownership as "Right To Buy" became very popular.

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.

A lot of the non-traditional housing are ex local authority flats, maisonettes or low rise bungalows some of the more popular construction types are Airey, Cornish, Unity, Wates, Reema, Stent and Woolaway. 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.
