Cos they're mostly fine, maybe a bit draughty or heat leaky or whatever but it's relatively small money to fix that. Sizes are often good, usually better than post-war buildings and they're often in nice places becaues they got built before the towns/cities got so big. If you look at a place like Japan they knock down and rebuild frequently but that's based on a very real issue that it may fall over if an earthquake hits. We don't have any threats like that here. Apart from multi million £ houses I'm yet to see anything build in the last 20 years that I'd regard as nice.

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 People have to keep piling money into keeping outdated constructions inhabitable, for what, nostalgia’s sake?
