Hi


From what I've seen of Victorian houses round here they're very
variable. The best ones are very good, tho of course with the odd
point in which they dont match new, ie insulation, layout, the
tendency to stick a 4" walled bit on the back, very close spacing,
etc.

But... at the cheaper end of the scale with Vics, basically anything
goes. I've seen some scary looking structures, ones that really have
done well to survive the century. I mean houses with huge gaps in the
structure, sank 4" at one end, houses with joists so thin its a wonder
the owner dare go upstairs, multistorey houses with only 4" walls,
that sort of thing.

Of course the worst ones have gone, since they fell down or were
condemned. Really I think if you buy a Vic you should understand what
kind of structure youre buying, because there are some bad houses
around.
