Hello,
I am looking at buying a 1920s bungalow. It was initially built as a holiday home and therefore has some single-skin walls. It does however have a lot of standard construction as it has been substantially extended. I have read a lot of negative reviews about single-skin properties and (mortgage depending) I would be looking to strengthen them. Is there any way I can convert them into double brick cavity walls? If so what kind of price would I be looking at? Will this clear up any future surveying problems if I choose to sell in the future?
Secondly, can anybody recommend any mortgage lenders? I am able to put down a 40% deposit if that makes a difference.
I would really appreciate any suggestions!
What are the real dangers of single-skin walls as I really like this property and it is located in a nice area.
Thank you
