đĄ Thinking of buying a Victorian home?
Victorian properties (typically built between 1837â1901) are full of character, but they were built very differently from modern homes.
Many have solid brick walls rather than cavity walls, which means they handle insulation and moisture differently. Youâll often find suspended timber floors, original joinery, and construction methods designed to allow the building to âbreatheâ.
That doesnât make them problematic, just different.
Understanding how these homes were built helps buyers make informed decisions about maintenance, insulation upgrades, and future alterations.
Character is a big part of the appeal. Knowing how they perform is just as important.
