  1. In the 1970’s it was not possible to get a mortgage as an individual for the same reason.Additionally resdual values of timber framed housing -were valued at a lower cost in the market place.In some areas timber framed dwellings were unsaleable due to the condensation problems within the cavity construction due to poor insulation qualities of insulating materials used ,the poor quality of timber and cold bridgeing .The developer took the risk -poor quality control resulted in that risk coming home back to the developer.Accountability should be enforced. The UK thermal conditions do not support timber framed construction even with a brickwork skin.The Developer and his sub contractor should pay the future premiums and pay for the damages if they are negligent – let us see the outcome – I used to be an agent for the import of high quality Nordic timber framed houses. I would never own one :-))
