Cross Wall construction - Drawbacks?

Gunner276

Hi,
We are purchasing a house and the survey has come back that the property is cross-wall construction.

So my question is what are the drawbacks of this, and are there any benefits?

Will I have trouble with house insurance for instance? Or issues with insulation?

Thanks

I live in cross walled. Lots of good interior space, but insulation not so good. Often leccy only. However, no issues with a lender as long as the broker knows. Some lenders class it as non standard, so class it as standard. 

Home insurance, if the load bearing walls or the largest walls are brick, then its classed as a normal bricks build.

Try Natwest or Satander for a mortgage quote.

Seems like HSBC are fine with it as the supporting walls are brick not concrete.

have you added insulation to the other walls? If so what did you do?
