It also might well depend on what sector the house is aimed at. Some first
time buyers might want somewhere they can move straight into. But then
others are forced by high prices to buy a wreck.
Some also prefer a new house for the same reason, while others prefer an
older one that they can make their own, as it were.

But it's generally accepted that most fittings don't recover their cost,
especially at the upper end price wise of such things. Bathrooms, kitchens
etc. Whereas things like fitting central heating where non existed, or
adding a garage generally will.
