Only yesterday I said how bad new builds are
My parents house built in the 60s, front and back garden, drive way, garage, 2 big bedrooms and 1 small bedroom, you are lucky if you get a drive and a front garden with these new builds, granted land is more expensive
If I was looking for a house I would be going for something built pre 1970s
My sister bought a terraced house that was over 100 years old and apart from the wiring and living room floor that needed relaying it was sound, now we have all this space saving crap and energy saving materials that make the new builds feel hollow.
Many new houses in the UK are "shameful shoebox homes" which are too small for family life, the Royal Institute of British Architects (Riba) has said.
It says average three-bedroom houses are 8% smaller - the space of a single bedroom - than the recommended minimum.
