Would you buy a house next to a...

[Birdies]

'Waste management' site. A big one. Skips are hired out to building sites and domestic customers and returned and sorted at the site. Inert things like rubble and plastic.

We've seen a house that looks ideal but did a Google map satellite view and the site is right next to it. Is it even worth viewing?

Absolutely not what's the discount to price for a similar house nearby that's not next to the tip?

No

Definitely not. The smell and noise!

I wouldn't be worried about smell - most skips are filled with building waste - but I would be very worried about noise and lorries so no, I wouldn't even consider this property.

Big No, for all the reasons listed previously.

But I'd be very intrigued to see a link, now that you've decided against it??

The only reason to buy it would be if it was crazy cheap and you wanted to rent it out.

you may as well post the link for us then.

Sorry but no

Is this a property near Halifax by any chance?

My mil had a house next to a site exactly how you describe.
She made numerous complaints to environmental health due to noise etc and it really affected her standard of living until she moved.

So no.

Absolutely if the finances meant I could
afford a house considerably better than otherwise.

No, it will be loud and reek

nooooooo

You won't regret walking away from this one.

Oi @RoxieLoxy, we all want to see the fabulous dump palace!

Not even if it was a tenner

No. Not if you ever want to peacefully sit out in your garden.

Nope- link?

No way. Would you have a house full of flies, dust and noise if you opened your windows in the summer?

No, no, no.

No! The smell would put me off

I live next to a major road and railway, but would drawn the line at any kind of waste management site, may parents used to and the smell, noise and flys were grim

I worked next to the recycling centre and it wasn't smelly but when it was windy a lot of stuff was blown about, also there would be lots of noisy skip lorries

Nope. Not for the smell but for the risk of future environmental issues.

Like this one?

Is that not Robbie Willaims's gaff ?

No

One of my friends use to live down the road from one - about 1.5 miles. The HGVs were bloody noisy and the council ended up restricting their hours of operation due to the number of residents complaining.
