I have recently moved into a new build and keep hearing cars go past at night. Obviously this wouldn’t normally bother me but we are right at the end and any further is blocked off as they were still building past our house. My neighbours have moved in but I don’t think it’s them. A few people have moved in at the top end but there would be no reason to come to the end part of the estate and go past . I’m worried people are scoping the houses. Aibu?

Probably potential new house buyers or their satnav off whack down roads that aren't complete.

If its a new build they are probably scoping the house out for structural defects and shoddy workmanship.

Numerous cars driving into a dead end and then out again in order to “scope” your house? That’ll be the world’s stupidest burglars 😃

It could be people moving into the estate / potential buyers. Before I moved into my new build I was driving up all the time to check in on the build and have a nosey round the estate.

Maybe they’ve just gone the wrong way then and needed to turn around? Is that possible?

I see the lights go past but a few have come to the end and then turned round. It’s quite narrow due to it being blocked off at the moment whilst they finish building

So when you get up to look out of the window to see them, where are they going/coming from?

Have you actually seen them go past or can you hear them and think they’re closer than what they really are because it’s quieter at night?
