Affordable Housing found in Non Standard Construction Properties

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 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.

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.

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.
