Rooster212 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Any advice for buying a 30yr old Potton home? Are they well insulated? Easy to insure and do you need specialist tradespersons for repair work? Any constructive advice welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Timber frame has been around for ages. The insulation and airtightness standards 30 years ago were nothing like as stringent as they are now. If it has a brick or rendered block outer leaf it should be easy to insure and mortgage. No specialist trades needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieKLP Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Hi yes they should be fine. You don’t need special trades to do things to them, timber frame is fairly straightforward. Timber frame is non-traditional construction, especially with larger areas of render-on-lath but beyond that it should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
