Would you move to this house?

The house is full of charm and character and a good fit for us in many ways. Great space and ticks a lot of our boxes, albeit not all.

But the next door neighbour (detached) and probably 30m away is a huge hoarder and known in the town for it. Not just his house and car but you can literally see every inch of garden is full on Google satellite and his gates are bulging open with rubbish behind. Satellite shows a clear narrow path from the house to the gates. It appears to only be in his garden at the moment, not going onto others property.

No idea if there are rats or any other associated issues. The hoarder is a nice man and probably spend around 60, so could have decades left in that property.

The house we're interested in hasn't been on the market since the 80s so I assume there aren't big social issues with him as he's lived there a long time too.

Would you move there? I'm worried about fire risks, rats and just generally the potential aggro.

No. As well as the actual rubbish (and who wants to live next to a garbage dump?) they are likely to have psychological problems, which could make them difficult neighbours.

No I wouldn't. Rodents would be my biggest concern.

No, you will never be able to resell, no wonder the house has been on the market for a long time.

I would give it serious thought. I’d sooner that that a party house with music all day.
