It would depend on the older housing stock. If it's all back to back
terraces built next to th'pit, I can understand the preference for a new
house.

However, if it's good Victorian or Edwardian stock built in a decent part
of town it will be closer to the amenities than some faceless new house
built on a flood plain or other land that nobody else wants.

Owners know they are relatively trouble free and cheap to keep warm.
They tend to come with utility rooms and proper plumbing and electrical
systems, not bodged up and added to over years stuff.
