I have architect/surveyor friends who plan to build their own and will use timber frames. There are a number of new houses round here being built on timber frames. Not the huge new building estates, more the couple of expensive houses on a plot in a sought after area.
I know nothing eglantine, that's just my observations. Hopefully wiser words will follow

I didn’t know until the surveyors report came in. NowIm anxious about it.

At least not about the house itself. The report says it’s sound and has been built well. But about selling it at some point.

Is it going to be hard to sell? Would you buy a timber frame house? Have you and do you live in one? Would you expect to pay less than the market price for a timber frame rather than a bricks and mortar?

I just want to gauge what the market would be like on a resale. It’s a perfect property for someone retired who wants to be close to town.

Someone like me. What do you think?
