please help, we bought our house 7 years ago and recently had new windows fitted, during the process of fitting the windows some rendering was taken off the property to complete the process, during this process it was brought to our attention that the gable end of the house (end terrace cottage about 150 years old) was brick built with thermablock skin (i.e. the brick is the internal wall and the therma block has been rendered onto externally), this does not seem right to me.
the property is now up for sale and i am concerned that this will be an issue during the survey process, i plan to patch render and paint the house in the near future anyway but am i right to be concerned? this was never picked up on our original survey 7 years ago any advice is welcomed.

There's nothing wrong with it.

Must have been a blockhead who bought this to your attention
 
what do you mean about a blockhead bringing it to my attention? it was the joiner who fitted the windows.
 
The blockhead reference was a joke

Tell the joiner to stick to joinery. That's serious, not a joke

sorry i missed the joke, stress level is maxed out at the moment lol. so you beleive that this is not an issue and that any surveyer would not flag this to a mortgage provider?
 
No it's not an issue, and no surveyor will see it once you have rendered and painted it anyway.
