Exeter Road, Okehampton, Devon, EX20

Set within an easy walk of the town, with level gardens, the property is in need of modernisation. The property has been tested and has Grade "B" Mundic (in parts of its footings), which means that although it is mortgageable the number of lenders who would lend on the property will be reduced. With high ceilings and working fireplaces, the property has its own charm.

Mundic Footing Solutions
The method is commonly known as: Twin-wall lining (also called structural lining or wall encapsulation) In technical terms, it may also be described as: Structural inner and outer leaf construction Concrete infill wall system Reinforced cavity wall replacement Permanent formwork encapsulation How it works A new inner wall is built inside the original mundic wall. A new outer wall may be built outside (if access allows). The cavity between them is filled with: Reinforced concrete, or Concrete blockwork tied structurally The new walls are tied into: Foundations Floors Roof structure The original mundic wall is effectively left non-structural. If it deteriorates, it cannot move or collapse because it is “sandwiched” and no longer load-bearing.
