It’s really put me off buying anything newer than 20 years old.
And has made me look at the housing built in the 60s with new admiration, might be fuckin’ Melton but those houses are made well. Made with real bricks and roofs that don’t leak!!
I think our house was built in the 50s with extensions added in the 80s (though I’m not positive on that). I’m sure there’s probably a term for the sort of style, but it’s basically a wooden house on stilts. There’s been a few issues, especially with leaky roofs, but usually it comes down to something breaking 2 years ago, the dodgy tradies the department hire coming out to fix it and doing a really bad.job, and then their half arsed fix falling apart as soon as there’s a bit of rain
