Would you ever buy a semi after living in a detached- can you hear neighbours?

As above.

Do you get noise?

In time I may move and one of the choices would be a Victorian terraced house - a semi.

I like older houses but have always lived in modern houses, first a semi (with a very elderly man next door) and then detached houses.

I would be older by then in my 70s (moving closer to family) and very quiet!

I can't stand noise now and noisy neighbours would send me crazy.

Our previous house was a newbuild semi and we never had any issues with noise. Very occasionally we could hear someone run up the stairs if they did it full pelt at a quiet time but nothing else. The houses were built so the living spaces weren’t attached so nothing like TVs, music, people noise etc came through.
