Your thoughts on build standard of 1950s council houses

As I am currently in such a property, and it is another of those"built like a brick outhouse" properties, would people recommend them?(They are selling like hot cakes around here, as soon as they come onthe market.) Mine has solid walls throughout. It's got a driveway anda decent-sized garden front and rear, in a quiet road. Just not whereI want to live any more. So perhaps a similar house in my preferredarea...? They don't look much from the outside, but there is not atrace of MDF in them (other than the bits I've added, like theworktop). They seem to be very solidly constructed and are excellentvalue for money. I even like the slimline Crittall windows!MM
