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.


Sounds like a worst case example. I can show you 5 bed new houses that

are
very solid and well made.


I'm sure there are many like that, though I've never seen any.


You don't have to look too hard to see them.
