We only found the house a few weeks ago but seeing as there's no chain at either end,we're rather excited and hoping to move at the end of this month.
However,we've had the survey done and my surveyor has just called to say there's absolutely no problem with the house BUT it is made of concrete,rather than brick.
It's not pre-cast concrete so it's not likely to fall down and according to him the only problems would be if we wanted to knock walls down etc(which we're not going to do)and I'll probably have to use a drill to put up pictures etc.
He also said the roof tiles have also been replaced with concrete ones which are about 1.5 x heavier than most other tiles.
We really like the house and although he's told me there's nothinhg wrong with a concrete house,he also said they're very rare and it's been a few years since he's seen one,so it's got me worried...hopefully over nothing.
Just wondered if anyone else has a concrete house or has any views please.
Thanks.
