Defective dwellings
A small proportion of our dwellings have been identified as being defective. All houses called ‘Cornish Unit’ properties are in this group. As a result of being defective lenders will not usually make mortgage finance available unless costly works have been carried out to repair their condition. If you are a tenant of one of these properties you may still exercise your ‘Right to Buy’. You will receive a letter formally notifying you that your home has been identified as defective and the market value will reflect this. You must carefully consider the structural condition of the property and the difficulties in reselling it before you make your decision to go ahead with the purchase.
