It's been there 80/90 years so that should give some confidence in the structure.
I would _guess_ this is probably in a terrace of similar properties with similar extensions.IANAL etc.0 -

I think you're worrying too much. If you can get one now, someone will be able to later, or a lot of old houses like that would be excluded (I believe my dad's has an extension with a single skin and he had not problems getting a BTL mortgage when he decided to rent it out, there are many terraced houses like that).0 -

You are most probably correct but we are cautious 1st time buyers and don want to make a big mistake buying this house.

I understand, mate. I feel the same and wish that a single brick kitchen extension was the only problem to contend with for any property I've found so far.
Don't worry too much until you've had a chat with some mortgage companies about it.0 -

one final question, does anybody know roughly how recently lenders have started flagging up single skin extensions as a problem? Is it something from they have picked up on in the last 4-5 years or has it been a long term problem?Now buying our second house:
