In common with a good proportion of these (ex) local authority properties, No. 34, was originally of Wates type construction, examples of which are prolific in the close vicinity.
Wates type construction is considered as defective under the Housing Acts here in England and accordingly to our knowledge, are not considered as a suitable security for mortgage facilities by main line lending sources.
In the late 1980’s and early 1990’s a programme of reconstruction was carried out under the general auspices of Worcester City and the N.H.B.C. To firstly preserve the integrity of these Wates type properties and secondly, to render them generally saleable by virtue of resulting mortgageability. When completed by the construction company the work was ‘signed off’ by the overseeing structural engineer such that the N.H.B.C. Then issued usual PRC5, PRC6 and PRC7 Certificates – it is these documents which are necessary for general high street mortgages to be available.
We do not know how it came about, but some of these improved houses do not carry the required prc Certificates and are therefore still considered to be of Wates (type) construction.
This applies to 34, Carlisle Road – namely that whilst it has been ostensibly improved to specification, it does not carry any prc Certification. It is therefore, academically, still a Wates house.
This is a very short appraisal based solely on our own historic experience. It is provided as a helpful addendum only, to avoid possible costly / abortive involvement (e.g. Survey / legal fees): Accordingly it is not guaranteed as mortgage conditions change over time and it is the responsibility of any prospective buyer who needs any form of mortgage to ascertain availability prior to a viewing being arranged.
