The house I have seen has cavity walls throughout the main 1930's house, but the kitchen extension has been built at a later date.
The kitchen does not have a cavity wall, it just has a solid red brick wall.
Would this stop me being able to get a mortgage on this property?
Also are there any relevant websites you could refer me too?
Thank you for any answers.

In the UK you can get a mortgage on anything! You may have to pay a higher rate of interest, or take out an indemnity policy. Contact a mortgage broker. An independant one

The only issue that I would see is that if it didn't go through building regs, has the extension been signed off by the council as completed, or does it have planning? Garages are not subject to regs for damp but extensions to a house are.
In the past, they was no concern with heat loss so a half brick wall could have been allowed. Mortgage lenders only go by surveys so it depends if it comes up on that.

If nothing comes up on the survey that is carried out on the property then it shouldnt be a problem, you need to make sure that proper building regs were required for the extension, that can be a nightmare. The only issues there might be on a report is damp possibly.

of coarse you can get a mortgage ..you would need to drag the surveyer on to the floor and up against the walls and he still would not notice it
