WW2 bomb destroyed house next door - worth buying

[purpletrees16]

Hi all,

I’m considering seeing a property this weekend that was hit by a bomb in ww2. It was in a terrace and it is now end of terrace due to the bomb wiping out the house it was attached to - it also received dark pink damage on the map.

I realise you can get surveys for these sort of things and I will do so if I get the house.

My question is: does this make houses harder to sell (presuming the survey doesn’t say it’s going to subside into the ground) or am I the exception that looks up all the flood maps, soil maps, and history, crime, before viewing and normal people wouldn’t be scared off?

(My MIL is very concerned about bomb damage... to be fair it sounds like there is a high risk of it being an expensive problem.)

I think any structural problems will have come to light now. I lived in a home as a child where the block opposite and adjacent were destroyed by a V2 and 4 bed terrace houses are selling for £2m (desirable part of London).
