Why do most people prefer older houses?

Primairly because old houses are on bigger plots and allow for extensions and conversions.

I think two reasons:
Character and history - they tend to be more individual and different, and have more character than the cookie cutter modern mass builds.
Solidity - they tend to be more stone and brick, instead of the timber framed buildings that are more common in new builds.
