We are in the process of buying a BISF (steel) house, so non standard construction.
We have now been told that we need to have a report done by a structural engineer before they will agree a mortgage on it.
The homebuyers report said we should think carefully about a non standard construction house.
I have spoken to a structural engineer and he said in 5-10 years they may be unsaleable and more and more lenders are not willing to lend on them.
Its a private sale with someone we know. She has just lost her mum and we were nearing exchange.
Would you pull out or would you get the report done and take a chance?
