Soldato
Im going through the process of buying a new house and its got a significant back and bedroom extension and note its timber framed. I think im perhaps being a bit old fashioned thinking "why not brick" and i presume if installed well timber framed can also last the test of time?
It was installed in 2013
The planning docs to neighbours states : mineral render finish on specialist board on timber insulated frame
I've had a quick look a the ties to the existing house etc and it all looks fairly sound. I believe it has planning permission and building regs approval but I'm getting that checked.
Im having a full building survey done. Is there anything specific i should ask the building surveyor to look at?
Is there anything else i should be looking for/asking my surveyor? Overall the build looks fairly good.
I think that it may have been built in this way for a couple reasons

- Cost
- Access - it's not got much access to the house and is parks onto a fairly busyish road so fairly difficult
- The bedroom extension on the second storey with walk in wardrobe is cantilevered. Obviously this part cant be breezeblock anyways
