Period Properties
Owning and living in a period property from any age in history is a dream to which many people aspire. There will be those who will tell you that they find it a considerable burden and hadn't realised what a financial drain it would be on their income and savings. Indeed there are many obstacles to overcome when maintaining an older property especially - if the building is listed - and it usually will be!
Building materials and construction methods
Maintaining an old traditional building will inevitably present many more challenges than a modern property, essentially because the original building materials and methods of construction will have been very different to modern building materials and techniques. Every individual period property will require some specialist advice before any renovation or redecoration commences.
The curse of the DIY builder
In the mid 20thC century many historic buildings were subjected to a travesty of good intentions and unregulated 'modernisation' projects resulted in some horrific property abuse! With the popularity of DIY came the irreplaceable loss of some stunning period features which, in our more enlightened times, are slowly, and at considerable expense, being restored.
