Prefabricated house ... questions

[success1980]

Hi,

 

I am currently reading into different ways to build my house and came across prefabricated houses. I would not go for one of these cheap, 30k kits to erect myself. I am thinking about a turnkey house to a highish standard. One company I came across is Danwood.

 

My questions are the following:

 

Will it be straight forward when I come to sell again? Not that banks get funny like with constructions of the likes of Reema.

How are insurance companies dealing with prefab houses?

Are there big obstacles I have to overcome with that sort of house?

 

Any advice is appreciated. There is so much information on the net and I am constantly researching. Maybe you guys can point some things out as well.

 

Thanks

There is a phrase you will encounter when insuring or selling a house. "Non Standard Construction"

 

These days, certainly in Scotland, timber frame is considered standard.

 

My own house, with its non masonry cladding may fall into the "non standard" category. I understand the best approach then for insurance is to go via a broker who will know which insurance companies are happy with it and which not.
