AIBU to accept a Housing Association property that's next to homeowners?

[FcukTheDay]

Well obviously it's not my AIBU but the question is always asked about HA tenants which singles us out. I don't think homeowners would like it if the question was always asked about them, making them feel lesser beings.

I wouldn't.
They'll install a hot tub and a trampoline next to the fence.

I wouldn’t. The housekeeper would be out on the terrace polishing the family silver every morning.

Well who owns the house?

The bank most likely....so no, Yanbu!

We have an HA tenant behind us, he's spot on. Did worry when he moved in, as he was sporting a massive Mohican 🤣 One of the quietest, nicest people you could meet and you never hear the three teens living there either.

He keeps the house nice and has fine sunflowers in his back garden at the moment.

The tenants that were there before? Sodding awful.

Well I don't know but they are homeowners so...

Loving the tongue in cheek answers 😀Yeah, I wouldn’t either, OP - you’d have to put up with all that building noise and disruption when they build the stable for the pony.

Yes, I couldn't take that glint coming through my filthy windows!

Only homeowners if the mortgage is actually fully paid

The country has become such an unequal mishmash of owning, renting, varying opportunities…take it if you like it!
There is no difference to if they also rented or you owned.

I'd accept being next to homeowners. They might care about leaking gutters and faulty drainage as it's "their house, their problem".

I really wouldn't, we live on a mixed development and the homeowner is a right nosey fucker who is always reporting anti social behaviour and stuff to the council and complaining about the HAs maintenance staff.

I wouldn't want to live nextdoor to him, I live with him instead.

*Disclaimer - not suggesting you would be antisocial or even that all HA tenants are. Most of our neighbors are lovely just one arse spoils it.

But they probably can't afford to fix it....even if they can secure a tradesman!

Cost of living and all that

Nah, they're bound to be Tories.

God no! You cannot get them evicted if they have loud parties, rev their cars along the street or any other antisocial behaviour. What if they don't keep their front garden maintained or let the paintwork on their house get shabby? 😱

Don't do it. They'll be constantly twitching the curtains.

You do realise that in general, it is the housing association tenants and council tenants that are more likely to display anti social behaviours.
No not all of them by a long way but statistically speaking.
Personally our worst neighbours were homeowners. It doesn't change the statistics.
Nobody is having a Personal dig.

I wouldn't. The cleaner turning up 3 times a week would get right on my tits.

A housing association tenancy is not an asset, unlike buying a house. You are being facetious.

I've not posted on the other thread but the onward saleability of a property is always a relevant consideration when buying it.

The fact it is semi detached to a housing association social or affordable tenancy (as opposed to shared ownership) is entirely relevant.

Where are the stats for this? Genuine question, not disbelieving you but curious to know what they are.

What a load of rubbish!

It's not a good idea you might end up with a mortgage payer like this next foie.

I'd be careful. We were next to homeowners and they were very noisy playing piano and trumpet in the night.

Don't do it OP they will got very stroppy with you keeping coal in the bath, not to mention the sight of a rusty Ford Cortina in the garden!

Haaaaa!

I mean I do worry about the coming and going of the cleaner and the noise of their lawnmower! I mean, they might scare my drug dealer away.
