Old steel frame house - problems?

    I'm looking at purchasing a house in Belfast. It's in need of a bit of modernisation but priced reasonably and it's a half decent area.

    [Snip]

    On phoning the Estate Agent, I was 'made-aware' that the building is steel framed. I'll still go have a look, but obviously there are some concerns if it was highlighted to me straight away. The price on the house is low-ish but not dirt cheap.

    From a search of historical records etc, the house seems to have been built in the 50s-60s, with a small sunroom type extension added sometime since.

    Is anyone aware of the problems that such a construction might have? Any experiences in obtaining a mortgage etc? Obviously, I'll be having a survey carried out prior to any purchase, but it's be good to hear any thoughts.
