Everything is depend from point of view and personal expectations. I know people which love having to a big house and to save a money they not heat up unused rooms. Many times I've seen they have a problem with mold and their children have asthma but they planning to have new extension, instead isolate wet, cold walls. IMHO I prefer have smaller but cosier house. JimmyVik is right, but its make a sense If I you will have a spare money. I would be looking for bargain with lower BER rating and modified them to my purposes. But If you don't have a knowledge or money I wouldn't go this way. If you don't have a knowledge, find some good engineer who would tell you it make a sense or not. Sometimes cost of modification in not proportional to hassle than to buying better property for a higher price.
