So we've looked at 2 houses in the same street, just a few doors from each other. One is a terrace and has been fully renovated with the kitchen knocked through to the dining room, and a loft conversion. The other is essentially the same design but it's a semi and has a bigger garden. But it needs total renovation. Both are on for £860k.

So, is the semi overpriced considering the other one is fully done up? Or does the fact that it's a semi really make that much difference to the price?
One other factor is the railway line behind the street. There is a station and the trains stop right there at the end of the garden of the terraced house. There's a high trellis at the end but it still feels a bit overlooked by the trains and the platform. From the garden of the semi, you can still hear the trains but it's not directly in the line of sight from the platform. The trains are only every half an hour.
