Laing Easiform construction is a type of prefabricated, reinforced concrete house-building method used in the UK, mainly during the mid-20th century, where concrete was poured into reusable shuttering on-site to form the walls.
Because Laing Easiform properties are built using this non-traditional method rather than standard brick construction, some mainstream mortgage lenders classify them as ‘non-standard construction’ and may apply different lending criteria, require a higher deposit, or decline to lend altogether, while other specialist and mainstream lenders are willing to lend on these properties, particularly where the construction is in good condition. If you’re buying or already own a Laing Easiform property, it’s worth speaking to a broker experienced with non-standard construction cases, since not every lender approaches these properties the same way.
