What Architects should know about mortgages part 1

This video lecture introduces the idea that mortgages have a significant influence on how we design buildings in the UK. Borrowing against houses is common and many banks have standards of construction which they deem acceptable for lending.
Architects should be aware of how influential the guidelines on non-standard or non-traditional construction can be, as they may have an impact on the materials chosen, the construction method and the form of a building.
This is the third video in a series looking at housing in the UK. Further videos will examine modern methods of construction and the roles that design team members play in the process.
