Default victorian/edwardian houses or new houses?

In article ,
says...
im just about to buy my first house and would like opinions, advice etc
what are the pros and cons of buying a victorian/edwardian house as
oppposed to buying a new house.any views will be read with interest.


People I know are moving in to a brand new build (large house builder),
and it's bloody awful. They've got an attached garage with a stud
partition wall between that and the living area! The finish is
shockingly poor. One of the "bedrooms" is 6x6 feet. They do have
double-glazing, though. We've got sliding sash windows that rattle a
bit.

Our 1902 house, on the other hand, has bricks between all downstairs
rooms, and even one upstairs. I suppose it depends if you want to put a
shelf on the wall.
