@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.
