Any reason to think it's not of traditional construction? Nothing from the photos obviously indicates it isn't.
Definitely not a BISF house as it's too small and the window positions and sizes are not right, lack of overhanging eaves etc. BISF houses are never staggered like that - they're usually semis and rarely a straight, short terrace.
To me it looks significantly newer, 1960s at the earliest, probably 1970s... not 1940s like a BISF house.

I'm not sure on the type of house but it looks very familiar to a lot of houses in Skelmersdale, a large proportion of which are concrete.0

The neighbour has External Solid Wall Insulation, no-one would pay for that on a cavity wall house. The house was built in 1960s or 1970s to replace post war temporary housing.Any reason to think it's not of traditional construction? Nothing from the photos obviously indicates it isn't.

It's a house to avoid that's for sure. It went on the market 15 months ago0

It's actually been let out for quite a while of that 15 month period. Tenants have recently left.TBeckett100 wrote: »It's a house to avoid that's for sure. It went on the market 15 months ago
I did see the house but it has a crack in the back so I will avoid even though I don't actually know what type it is.Changing the world, one sarcastic comment at a time.0
