we've sold our house and need to find a new house without any delays.
amazing house has been on market for a few months, we went to look at it and loved it but i'm out off by the narrow shared drive. DH doesnt think its a problem and thinks everyone would co-operate.
dont want to draw a plan in case the owner is a mumsnetter.
basically, its at the head of a single car width shared drive. there are three other houses and those houses have two car driveways but one car must go behind the other. the house we like has 2 car drive plus a turning point/ 3rd parking space belonging to the house we'd like to buy.
im sure the neighbours will co-operate but if they had a visitor who parked outside their house, we'd be blocked in at the bottom of the drive. its a busy new build with limited and tight parking everywhere.
I hope my description kind of makes sense.
we're running out of options but dont want to be have any stress as this is a big jump up mortgage-wise for us and stamp duty wise, so we'd need to be here 5 years at least.
owner naturally has said never any issues and no idea where their neighbours friends would park.
does anyone else have a similar set up or did you discount an amazing house on the basis of a shared drive?
thanks.
