We have lived here for 5 years, lovely terraced period properties, we have neighbours adjoined either side.
Neighbour 1 works in the middle east and returns for a month in the summer and an additional fortnight at any other time. The rest of the time the house is empty.
Neighbour 2 I think either works away or long shifts where he sleeps over for days at a time. I think he has also moved into his gfs. We don't see him from one month to the next. In fact, a courier left a parcel here for him and he came round for it 10 weeks later once he saw the card.
As a result of this, their gardens aren't the best, neighbour 1 is pretty low maintenance and just full of litter, moss on the flags and weeds growing through.
Neighbour 2 is like a jungle. Full of litter (we're town centre) trees overgrown, sky/telephone leads come unpinned, gate broken off and left, ditto the doors to the electric cupboard thing.
Thing is, we have gone up for sale and the photo of the front of the house on the agents website is awful. You can see all the shite in it and neighbour 2 looks like an abandoned ghost house. Agent has said she can crop them out but they will see it if they drive past/view.
A big selling point of my house is the kerb appeal, it's beautiful. But then you see what surrounds it and nobody will buy.
So, aibu to go around, pick up the litter, pull up the weeds, trim some trees, fix the gate, maybe jet wash the paths and wash the windows
DH thinks I'm bonkers. Im not though am I? I just want to sell my house
