Why are non-standard properties more expensive to ensure?

1. Non-standard building materials like thatched roofs need ongoing maintenance compared to standard shingled roofs.
2. Many non-standard buildings require specialist tradespeople to work on them. This is often the case for heritage buildings like churches.
3. The cost of building materials on non-standard buildings are often higher than standard buildings.
4. The rebuilding/repairing process takes longer. This increases labour costs, especially if specialist labour is needed.
