All Lightweight cladding

[Davidkw]

Good evening this is my first post and hope to secure PP within next week or so and, have been 

considering the structural options on how to build.

 

My preference is no masonry above DPC, so all Lt weight cladding of some form ( planning aside) but my concern is the long term sales 

potential , in as much as the mortgage companies/ banks etc  that accept this option I believe are fewer, so what would be the consensus.

 

 Have members experienced problems selling there home who have used this method and regretted it , or should I not worry about it. Its not

our forever home, just 2- 3 years. I did one for client about 8 years ago who was not concerned about this matter.

 

 Would appreciate your thoughts/ experience in the matter.

The very same thing worried me, and the fear of the old, non standard construction, coming up. For that reason i am going to go masonary ground floor, and timber first floor, with my 10 dormers.

Not sure what you mean by this.

Do you mean timber frame/SIPs/clad light weight block/something else?

Didn't think it was complicated, blockwork could never be described as cladding, it would be the outer leaf.

 

What i mean is timber, slate, metal -zinc, lead or steel, render board and thin coat render etc

 

Has any one experienced funding problems without the outer leaf and just cladding as described.
