Most of the older Building Surveyors I know tend own Edwardian - 1930s properties. Understanding of materials, labour skills and adaptability of buildings is seen as having peaked in this era.

@Currid I've heard this too. The BS5 area (speaking about Easton specifically here but will apply wider) according to domestic surveys (forum recommendation) wasn't always as desirable/affluent as it is becoming now and so a lot of the houses have been maintained cheaply/badly. So you could get a real lemon.

Yep St Werburghs. Don't think I would be able to afford my house if I was buying now, but altho things were a little cheaper when I bought, it was still super frenetic.
There seem to be decent if somewhat unfashionable 1930s 3 beds in Eastville for sub £350k. If you are not dead set on Victorian there is better value to be had.
Or for something else not period but in good nick and good location:
