Looking at potentially buying a concrete built former council house. It was built in the 1950s and is in the Lancaster area.
A few people have warned me about the potential structural problems with concrete houses, but I'm not sure if this applies to all designs / areas. We have just had a survey done and he didn't raise any concerns over it but with the scare stories of concrete properties crumbling to dust, reinforcing steel rusting away and being impossible to repair I thought I'd seek some more advice.
Does anyone have experience of either working or living in concrete properties? What would you recommend & what are your thoughts?
Thanks
