Shared Houses

[Cutecat78]

I know that it's really hard for young people to move out independently and I'm not sure what the easy answers are to that.

BUT 3 bed 2 rec house next door to us (attached side) has just sold and was bought by a couple who have let out all the rooms inc the reception rooms - so 4 people house sharing and a couple renting the master en suite meaning an extra six cars on a road with no off road parking and where here and in the surrounding streets parking is a massive issue.

We live in a street with about 40 old Victorian "family" homes and this is about the 6/7th time this has happened in recent years and our street just cannot cope with the extra cars meaning we sometimes have to park a few streets away (with a weeks shopping ).

If houses are to be converted into flats planning permission has to be sought - AIBU to think there needs to be some limit on the amount of houses being divided up to be room lets on each street as I also feel the sense of community is disappearing what used to be families is now loads of young people coming and going who we never get to know.

AIBU? I guess I probably am

I totally understand the frustration but unfortunately, if parking bothers you to this degree you just have to choose a house that has a driveway or allocated parking. Sadly I don't think there's much you can do other than move.

Also, being a family of 8 bringing the shopping in doesn't give you any more entitlement to park easily than the house-sharers.

If you absolutely must park in front of your house, then you should buy a house with a garage or driveway. Otherwise, you take your chances.

Future AIBU written by the OPs Neighbour AIBU, our Neighbour only used to have two cars but now their kids are all teens and older they all flippin' have cars - there are 8 cars.

Unlikely that my 3 step children would all come and live here with my 3 kids.

We do have a garage but it's too small to get the car into actually.

. I was being tongue in cheek, honest .

We are wedged in between 2 ten bed student houses (ours is a flat before you think we have a mansion!).

All ten of them have cars. So there are twenty cars for two houses.

And only one bin per house! So there is rubbish everywhere.

I feel your pain.

I would report all these houses to HMRC as so many of these landlords will not be declaring their rental income. You can do it here (anonymously);
