Hello, after finding & reading Julians project here (http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthread.php?t=348632&page=3) can I ask those others that are in this style housing what they are like?
I am considering purchasing a 24 year old one in Burnley & would like to know more about the good & bad side of living in a concrete house?
i.E. what do they do about dampproofing?
Do they suffer from damp at all?
Are all the internal walls likely to be just plasterboard & able to be knocked through etc?
Do they suffer from "movement" at all?
Are they warm/cold in winter, are the walls usually well insulated?
Whatever, what can you tell me about these houses?
Thankyou
P.S. moderators, if this is in the wrong place, please move it.
