Assured Life and Mortgageable Repair Solutions

Our assured life and mortgageable repair solutions help councils, housing associations and landlords protect and extend the future of non-traditional properties, including PRC and system-built homes such as Airey, Wimpey No-Fines, Cornish, Tarran, BISF and similar pre-1970 construction types.

These specialist solutions are designed to address inherent structural defects, restore long-term durability and provide confidence to lenders, valuers, regulators and residents that properties remain safe, compliant and fit for continued occupation.

What Are Assured Life and Mortgageable Repairs?

Assured life and mortgageable repair solutions are technically robust, evidence-based interventions that demonstrate a property can achieve a defined future service life following repair. For non-traditional housing, this often involves approved or licensed repair schemes that resolve known defects rather than managing symptoms.

When properly assessed and implemented, these repairs can:

  • Restore structural integrity and durability
  • Extend the economic life of the asset
  • Improve lender and valuer confidence
  • Support ongoing mortgageability and transferability
  • Reduce long-term maintenance risk

Why Specialist Repair Solutions Are Required

Many non-traditional properties were constructed using materials and methods that do not meet modern durability expectations. Without appropriate intervention, deterioration can compromise safety, value and compliance.

Our assured life repair solutions are designed to:

  • Address concrete deterioration and reinforcement corrosion
  • Replace or strengthen defective structural components
  • Improve performance at critical joints and interfaces
  • Align repaired structures with modern performance standards
  • Provide clear evidence of long-term viability

This ensures repairs are defensible, auditable and sustainable.

Our Approach

We deliver assured life and mortgageable repair solutions through a structured process:

Assessment and Diagnosis
Detailed structural surveys, defect investigations and construction identification to fully understand condition, risks and root causes.

Repair Strategy Development
Selection and design of appropriate repair solutions, including NTHAS-approved or licensed PRC repair schemes where applicable.

Design and Technical Assurance
Preparation of structural calculations, drawings and specifications to demonstrate compliance, durability and future performance.

Certification and Reporting
Clear documentation confirming the nature of the repairs, expected service life and suitability for lending, valuation and regulatory review.

  • Retention of non-traditional properties within asset portfolios
