I cant really answer the specific question for you, but if you look
around, you will probably find lots of timber framed buildings, (houses

builders of new homes do not have a problem selling them.

Why oh why will people not compare like with like! A privately built
timber-framed home from the likes of Potton or similar is worlds away
from the crap jerry-built rabbit hutches thrown up in the 1980s.
