Non Standard Construction Properties Offers Affordable Housing

By Phillip Evans

In these post credit crunch times its becoming increasingly difficult to get on the property ladder or impossible 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.

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.

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.

About 1.25 million (one million two hundred and fifty thousand) non traditional houses were built after the war, which offers a great affordable housing stock for the UK home buyer or investor.
