Would you buy a house on estate entry / exit road which has around 3 cars a minute, or pay and extra £130k for one further back in the estate?

[timetoquestion]

Found an amazing house but it has around 3 cars a minute go past as it is an entry / exit road to the estate (sometimes periods of nothing for a while(. Bus also goes past every 20-30 mins.

Property is set back around 10 meters from road.

Overnight after half 10 it goes to nearly no cars.

There is also another house which is further back in the estate which has slightly bigger garden and one extra small downstairs room for another £130k.

We could technically afford the extra £130k but would not have as much money for holidays or luxury and a safety net if one of us lost our jobs.

Would you worry about pollution with the volume of cars at the cheaper house?

Which one would you go for?

Very good point! It is around the £335k price point the cheaper one and the more expensive one is around £470k

I’d go for the cheaper option , sounds like they have orientated the main living area to the back of the house which will reduce impact and that’s a hell of a lot of money extra

I wouldn't buy a house on a new estate ... I'm in one now, 21 months on and we are sat overlooking a building site, yard and car park where there should be green space!

Yea I am thinking that it is massive money really, would double the monthly cost!

Well I have a cat so I'd avoid busy roads.
