Meeting to address mortgage and insurance difficulties facing defective concrete homeowners

A meeting is taking place this Friday for homeowners affected by defective concrete blocks, high mica levels and related housing issues.

Hosted by the Banking and Insurance Focus Group, the meeting will address the difficulties people face selling, mortgaging and insuring their homes, including properties that are believed to be structurally sound.

Seamus Devenney says this is partly due to the presence of mica, which has since been shown not to be the substance responsible for the concrete defects.

The meeting begins at 7pm at Karen Murphy Speech and Drama in Rossview Business Park, with online participation also available. Registration is required.

Mr Devenney says the group is hearing from people in other counties who are now discovering deleterious materials in their homes.

He says lessons are being learned from the mistakes made in Donegal:
