Since 1984, when the Defective Housing Act was passed following the discovery of the widespread deterioration of Wates PRC Houses in Birmingham. There been problems associated with Wates PRC houses built in Birmingham. But it had taken an act of Parliament to have Wates PRC Houses built in Birmingham declared as defective. Wates houses in Birmingham were built in the 1940's and 1950's to cope with the increased demand for housing in Birmingham. Wates houses in Birmingham were built using Precast Reinforced Concrete at a time when building materials and tradesmen from Birmingham were in short supply. Wates PRC Houses in Birmingham were practically built in kit form. Following the widespread negative publicity about the defects found on Wates PRC houses in Birmingham and the passing of the Defective Housing Act of 1984 these houses became blighted. Historically grants were made available to have a licensed PRC repair carried out on a Wates PRC house in Birmingham by specialist builders, however these are no longer grants available so an owner of a Wates PRC House in Birmingham will be looking at a repair cost of over £40,000 to bring a Wates PRC House in Birmingham up to mortgagable standard. |
