To ask for your reasons for preferring period properties?

[Derlei]

Sorry, another LLL thread.

I always come across buyers on this programme looking for "period properties". What is it about period properties that people prefer? Is it the charm, is it the potential history associated with it, or is it the way that they're physically constructed? Do they appreciate more in value relative to other types of builds in the same area?

Some of the period properties Kirsty and Phil find are quirky and quintessentially British, but at the same time are tiny and imo don't look very cosy

Okite yes, I do realise that terraced houses are warmer than detached or semi-detached but there are lots of Georgian terraced houses about so there must be lots of people like me living in old houses that are very warm. However, reading this thread you wouldn't think so.
