Would you be put off by a house in which a tragedy had recently occurred?

DH and I are looking to downsize in a couple of years when DS has moved out.

We're looking at this recently renovated cottage in a nearby village.

The reason it's been renovated is that a woman was killed in a fire there a couple of years ago.

DS has said he wouldn't live there as "it's creepy" but that wouldn't be a bad thing

We'd need to rent it out for a couple of years. Would you rent a place with this recent history?

And if we needed to sell - do you think it could be a sticking point?

My friend bought a house where the elderly lady had died in the bath.
Didnt bother her and she didnt even consider replacing the bath either.

I find that grim.
I can't believe she didn't replace the bath.
makes me think of that scene from The Shining

How could you lie in that bath knowing that a dead body had been floating in the wate, in that exact same space, where you are are lying (possibly for days)
No no no!
