Right, we have managed to sell our flat and are now on major househunting mode.
We saw our DREAM house on Saturday, could not be more perfect. It will be a stretch but we have done the sums and we could do it. All poised to put a serious offer in but I was a bit concerned about the house next door that is in really poor state of repair on a road that is otherwise in very good nick.
Investigation on the land registry shows it is housing association owned and divided into 3 flats. So far no problems but I have checked with the neighbours on the other side and with the council and there have been many complaints about the top floor flat about noise and general anti social behaviour. The housing association have a female tenant registered in each flat but in reality there is a family of 6 living in the top floor flat!
I am not concerned about shabbiness etc but my biggest fear is noisy neighbours and not being able to sleep at night.
We should just walk away shouldn't we?
