DH and I bought a house late last year, which we had viewed in August - sale took a while. When viewing the estate agent told us the back garden was South west facing - I could kick myself for taking her word for it now, but I was a naive first time buyer. The back garden has had literally no sun in the approx 6 weeks since we've lived here, so I downloaded a compass app and actually checked the aspect myself today - turns out it's North facing!
I know this is very much a first world problem but I'm really upset/disappointed, this is our first house after living in flats for years, and having a south/South west/South East facing garden was really important to me - to be honest I don't know if we would've bought the house had the EA told the truth at our first viewing.
The house is a semi but with other houses close by, and the back garden has another garden behind it. The garden is medium size I would say. Does anyone know whether it will get any sun in summer? The front of the house (inc master bedroom) gets a lot of sun even now in winter so I can imagine this will be horrible in the summer too! Feel like we made a mistake buying it.
