When my dad died last year he left us his house which is an old council steel framed house. It needs a fair bit of renovation or it is probably worth relative pennies. Problem is the steel frame makes it a specialised job. The firm that does the council owned ones told us they don't do private work, so we're a bit stuck.
Anyone know of anyone decent that would carry out this sort of work?
For anyone that knows the houses, they are the ones opposite the Lidl (old bus garage) by Caereithin Cross. Or like the ones on Heol Cadifor and I think theres similar down West Cross.
Oh and does anyone know a reliable and kosher auction firm? Just in case we decide that's our only hope. This is a rubbish time obviously but we can at least start to get our ducks in a row. |  |

These people might be able to recommend someone.

Or ... Ask the firm who does the work for the council for a recommendation.
Good luck. |  |

What sort of work does it look like it needs, I'm assuming it's the carcass, that needs some repair? |  | | |

I can't suggest a good auction company but steer clear of Dawsons. Bullshitting w*nkers. |  |

Yes some of the steel, and other repairs to stop further damage. The full specialist structural survey was about a million pages of OTT arse covering misery. Reckoned possibly pushing 5 figure repairs. We wanted some minimum cost proper estimate to decide if it'e worth doing as there'd be much more chance of selling it then, or if we should just try and get whatever we can for it at auction, if someone wants a project. It's perfectly liveable in currently, so we may have to try and rent it, but I'd rather be shot of it. | |

Monny, the NHS may need loads of empty houses soon for their staff to rent...just a thought. | | | |

Yep it a tricky one, as all the faults will show up on any survey, and the asking price will reflect that. It won't be cheap.
I'll speak with one of our engineers tomorrow, see what he reckons.
But ultimately it'll be your shout.👠| | | |
