Well, I'm glad somebody read it... I was worried my horrendous OP would put people off of it (evidently, it did).
The thing that really struck me in the article was the differences in how people tried to sell houses, and how they try and make the house look unlived in. I find this particularly strange, because I'm moving house in a few weeks - and the reason why my parents chose the house was that it had history and character.
It's sort of like in the states you buy a house to live in, but in the UK, you buy into a lifestyle. It's sort of like, the way the house has been designed, the people who lived in it before, represent a way of life that you want, and that's partly the reason that you buy the house.
