Softwood ends up costing more to get a decent paint finish. I use pre-primed moisture resistant MDF on all replacement skirting these days, it saves a lot of prep time and there are loads of pattern choices.
Don't use Skirting Boards Direct, scammers and a waste of time. mdfskirtingworld are good though.
Not answering for Diable, he may have other reasons but there's no reason to use softwood skirting.

Nice spec. trying to get a similar one on my build, but with 300sqm I can't afford the really posh finishing touches!
Couple of questions, as you are a bit further along than me, and you might be able to help change my spec!
thanks!
