Hi All,
My wife and I are looking to buy our PPOR and we've found a house that "ticks all the boxes" in a suburb with good transport, and is GREAT value for money.
However it is made of prefab concrete. The agent said they can erect the structure in a day or two that way, and it limits the construction time but other than that there aren't any major disadvantages.
We found:
On the inside it looks great
On the outside, some walls are a bit plain, but we can change that.
A very fine crack! Near the top of the outside wall. It is double story and a huge panel has been used on one side from ground to roof.
Has anyone had any experience buying houses made like this? Anyone heard of any drawbacks? or advantages?
Does it mean the house is worth less than a brick one?
We want to buy the house, but we aren't familiar with this building method...
Needless to say, our offer WILL be subject to satisfactory building inspection even though it has a warranty.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Many Thanks
Daniel
