So we’ve had an offer accepted on a 1930s semi detached house which we will do some work to, but has great potential . It’s on a beautiful quiet road in a lovely part of Kingston (we’re moving from nearby so we know it well). However I’ve just googled the house we’re attached to and it’s a student house! Saw it advertised as one, seems like it has been one for a while and it’s advertised as a 3 bed although a 4th person can go in the study which is tiny… it’s a pretty small house with little communal space, they’ve put an extra room in the living room downstairs. But I’m already anxious about the prospect of noise and the uncertainly of tenants changing every year. Stupid me for not checking earlier..
We’re trying to sell our house which is a Victorian cottage attached to a rental that sometimes goes to students and so far that’s been great! But I hate the uncertainty. Especially as the staircases in the new house are not adjoining so we share a lot of common walls!
Would this put you off? Does anyone have experience living attached to a student rental?
