Having lived in Ireland (read:UK in effect) it's the same. You have to replace everything. Mixer taps. Replace all hinges. Fucking SPRAY insulation, son, SPRAY insulation. Lazy as FUCK. That being said, there's so much to do that you end up driving tonnes of value into your property (60-80pc of UK wealth is in property) by just fixing shitty engineering. Even the 'not a fixer-upper' benefits to the point that basic stuff adds like 20-25pc the home value, like loft, building shelves under the stairs, reskimming/sanding ceilings and walls
