I wonder if you deal with many of those 2 up 2 down houses that are common in britain. I believe a lot of the toilets are outside so adding an internal bathroom into the layout seems like a challenge.
The reinforcing bars within the concrete are vulnerable to corrosion (especially in coastal areas due to the salt in the air) thus potentially compromising the structural integrity of the building. PRC Precast Reinforced Concretev
Carnt find any info about this the joining house to mine is still of a concrete panels we're As mine as been brick up in 1990 a d I have my prc certificate but morgage companies are saying because of next door they won't give anybody a mortgage on my home when next door is council can any body shed any light on this
Hi Daniel if the house next door is not rebricked, and you are joined in say a terrace, it is unlikely that your house will be easily mortgaged. There are specialist companies who can offer mortgages, but you will find they charge more as the risk is there. Try a good mortgage broker experienced with this type of case, and you should get a mortgage.
Hi Lesley, often the council keeps those certificates, IF they did thee rebricking. If it has been rebricked and you are sure it has, then you can purchase a certificate - the last one I bought cost me £1k. Then the council found it in their archives the very next day - grr! Good luck to you !
I've sold a concrete construction house in the past and never heard of a PRC... :S My house wasn't bricked up. Just rendered on the outside so that might be why. The buyer didn't seem to have any issue with getting a mortgage on it either way. Great video btw
these prc houses are abit of a mistery, thay were deemed defective in the mid 80s, and for ever after have been viewed as untouchable by lenders. everyone says avoid them there dodgy. only thing i cant work out is if the defective status is really warranted ? theres thousands of these places all over the country, thay dont all seem to have fallen down even 40 odd years after thay were written off as un morgagable. if there were that dodgy surely thay should have all been knocked down. another strange concept is if thay were that unsound for lenders to risk lending money on them then how is it ok to let humans keep living in them...?
I totally agree with you, I find it strange given the ones I own are perfectly ok structurally and people live in them very happily indeed. Odd isn't it. Paperwork leading the way not common sense at times. Tho concrete does not last forever without reinforcement.
A very helpful video - especially the information concerning "the next door neighbours"; thank you so much.

I do but so far all toilets had already been added - even if they were in what used to be the coal bunker!
