pre fabricated means exactly that, not hand built or bonded in. most were threw up after the second world war and were'nt designed to last more than 50 years. bad investment unless you have the money to rebuild professionally and to spec |

Used to work for a huge mortgage broker, apparently alot of companies won't give a mortgage on them. Also, the surveyors are of the opinion they are normally structurally unsafe!
So even if you do buy it, and it doesn't fal on your head (which it probably wouldn't), you may be stuck with it when you try to sell! |

Concrete has very poor heat retention but is extremely quick to construct, hence it is used a lot in warm climates like Spain.
Concrete has very poor sound deadening qualities so anything the neighbours do is amplified.
You can rectify both these problems with carpet/underlay and plasterboard to the walls. Otherwise concrete is like any other building material (although in a block of flats it will protect you for longer against a fire in a neighbouring property)
The benefit of concrete is that they also make bridges out of it, so if constructed properly should last a very long time. The bits about the wolf is also true - take note Americans! |

Is Dave Curious?.....

Any non-standard construction property (not brick or stone with slate or tile roof) is often more problamatic to arrange a mortgage on. It all depends on how damning the valuation report is so its in the hands of the valuer really. Im a financial adviser and have one sitting on my desk at the moment where the valuer has valued the house at what it is for sale for but has put in his report future saleability is poor and demand in area is also poor so, whilst they look cheap, you may have a problem selling them on in future. The lender in question refused to lend on the property after reading those 2 bits of info on the report, the rest of report is fine so, basically, you may find yourself paying out for valuation after valuation while each lender says no on seeing the report because unfortunately these houses are usually in poor demand areas with poor future saleability. The one I have here, the client also has a meaty deposit, this cuts down the lenders risk a lot but they are still unwilling to lend anything on it so, in short, unless you have an arm and a leg to waste on valuations, a massive deposit (50% or more) or are a cash buyer (in which case my advice would be place your money elsewhere, you may never be able to sell it on!) Look for a standard construction property. Hope that helps :) |

I bought a concrete house some years ago then found out about concrete cancer which rendered it unsellable.I was lucky that i got a government grant to have it partially knocked down and rebuilt with brick, this was a ridiculous amount of money, so I would not recommend that you buy it! Also in the winter it cost a fortune to heat as the concrete retained the cold!!!!! |

The concrete is reinforced with steel which rusts, therefore they are VERY expensive to repair.
Hence they value cheaper, but mortgage lenders tend to shy away from them. Also you'll have trouble getting building insurance for them. |

Yes, impossible for the big bad wolf to blow down. |

advantages: no bugs, and fireproof
disadvantages: sitting on cold concrete creates hemorrhoids, expensive to build (re-barring and heating the floors) |

In England they are considered cheap and are usually in bad areas. |

Pros,
Cheap to buy
Cons,
Tend to be cheaply made, can suffer from structural problems with the concrete rotting or the re-enforcement bars rusting, hard to get a nail in the wall, tend to be cold in winter, banks don't like them. |
