fixation with preserving crumbling Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing
The energy performance might be shit but compared to most modern builds things like the room sizes, ceiling heights and window sizes are so much better. Add in the "it's a terrace so you have to do ~20 houses in one go or problems" and it's only the shitty mass builders that could do anything if they wanted to.
I sometimes wonder about knocking down and rebuilding my current house. It's detached so a much simpler project but still a massive amount of cash and disruption so I'm unlikely to ever do it.

I wish the current fixation with preserving crumbling Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing would just end. People have to keep piling money into keeping outdated constructions inhabitable, for what, nostalgia’s sake?
