Hi all
We recieved a good offer from two fathers who would like to buy our semi detached 4 bedroom house for their sons who are about start their university education. Our house is walking distance to uni.
They will rent the two extra rooms. They are nice decent people and they are cash buyers.
However we are in dilemma since we don't want to upset our neighbours. On the other hand local schools are not great and house is not attracting young families and it is too big for retired couples. This is first offer in about 9 weeks. We had 5 viewings so far.

What would you do?

'wouldn't want to have students next door' Why?
During the bad snow last winter my son was one of a group of students who went out in the freezing cold and dug out the paths in front of the elderly resident's houses so they could get to church! They aren't all bad Wink

Sell. Why on earth wouldn't you in this current market. As others have said, bearing in mind the parents of two of the students own it one would have thought they would not have too many wild parties and burn the house down.
