	New Detached, just detached does not have to be new. [Edited on 14-12-2013 by N16K]

	Should see some of the victorian house conversions in the streets off Kings Road where I am, absolutely stunning! Size, history and structure of a Victorian terrace with all the privacy an modern touches of a new build! At a price, ofc

	Old looking outside, gut it inside and make it ultra modern.

	Suppose it's wrong to tar all new builds with the same brush.

	My new build is all brick.

	Victorian townhouse hands down. I'd take creaky floorboards over hollow paper walls and creaky OSB joinery any day of the week.

	Buy an old one and renovate it . Choose to keep what u like and bin the rest. One I just done is 1901 . Would of been easier and cheaper building one from scratch

	older ..... around 1900. Hate tiny rooms with low ceilings!

I vote new build eco house in the country!! What do you class as old? My 1960 house is better insulated, cheaper to run and more efficient than a friends brand new house. Wouldn't ever buy a Newhouse but that's as its hard to make money on it and a lot just don't seem to be well built. Plus living in a small village and have done most my life you don't tend to get new houses.

	To be honest as long as our next house is detached I dont really care if it's old or new, just cant be bothered with neighbours anymore
MarkM	posted on 30th Nov 13 at 01:42
	New detached because I have one. If I had a bottomless pit of money though an old detached house in the countryside.

	New detached. I like older houses, but unless you take them back to brick and start again, you'll always end up fixing previous owners bodges. Also neighbours can be the worse thing in the world, both for creating noise and also moaning about noise from your side. Not worth it imo. My next house will be detached for this very reason.

	Just the bodge jobs made by the "new age" builders then...the ones who sometimes need to extend their profit margin by cutting corners. I've lived in two new builds in recent years....each with their problems. Yes i realise that all builders aren't cowboys. My personal view is an older house which has character is better.
Tomnova16	posted on 29th Nov 13 at 22:03
	New clean and fresh. No previous bodge jobs etc
Dave	posted on 29th Nov 13 at 19:42
	New, "period features" to me means uneven creaky floors, odd shaped walls, doors that don't fit, woodwork with eleventy layers of paint, damp, draughty, poorly insulated etc. That said I've seen some pretty sketchy new builds too, pick your builder carefully.
AndyKent	posted on 29th Nov 13 at 18:20
	Period every time. New houses are bland as fuck. Then again I wouldn't buy in a shit area.
Kyle T	posted on 29th Nov 13 at 17:29
	Detached, connected neighbors can ruin the nicest terrace/semi in the world.
John	posted on 29th Nov 13 at 17:26
	New detached, never been interested in being joined to someone else.
Marc	posted on 29th Nov 13 at 15:04
	Assuming you can afford either - Would you go for a new detached house or a period terrace set over 3 floors, period features etc?
