I'm no expert but I believe building regs on this were improved sometime in the 90s?
They were.
Whether individual build are compliant is probably a different question.
My 00s new build failed as the developer used the wrong blocks for the party wall. 2 years of testing (play white and pink noise in property 1, measure in property 2), debate and finally sound insulation applied making the rooms smaller to sort it out. One day a resident is going to spot one side of the room is different to the other and ripe the fancy boards off.

Victorian terraces are never going to be great for that, but noise from above is a lot more invasive than noise from the side (see bastard neighbors thread). I'm no expert but I believe building regs on this were improved sometime in the 90s? Whether individual build are compliant is probably a different question. My conversion was done in the 80s and was pretty shocking in that regard, although some of that was down to tenants behaviour/routine but the building didn't help isolate that.
Eastville: massive park, Tesco & IKEA, pretty good links in to town or out, less hip pubs/cafes. It might not be any cheaper though, I'm out of touch with the Bristol market since I moved away.
