Homes in Lisburn, and what that means for your bathroom
- A handful of 19th-century mill terraces survive, including the Hilden model village.
- Large public housing estates built from the 1970s as Belfast overspill.
- Plenty of newer commuter housing since the M1 made it part of Belfast's commuter belt.
Older terraces and town houses often have uneven walls and floors, lath-and-plaster ceilings and old wiring. Expect more making good than in a newer house, and keep the 10% contingency for what turns up behind the old units and tiles.
Post-war houses usually have solid concrete ground floors and simple layouts, which suits new flooring, but wiring and pipework may be original and worth replacing while the room is stripped.
Newer houses are usually square and level, which keeps fitting quicker and cheaper.
