Would you buy this house?

[fitnessmummy]

Hey everyone! I need honest opinions please!

We are looking at buying a house which we love but there is about to be a development of 3 new house right behind. The plan is to have their bin storage at the back of or (potential) new garden.

My questions are:
Would the bins be annoying/smell?
There’s a lot of work to be done are we mad buying a house in what is about to become a building site area?

The good thing is that when it’s all done it could add value to the house. The house is beautiful!! And a really good price.

Any thoughts welcome! Thank you!

I agree with this!
if those numbered rectangles are houses they are the size of a small caravan!!
the nursery is what would put me off - have you heard the sound kids make at play time?
I suppose I’m thinking of a school which is so much bigger, so might be ok…
Are the foot prints of the new houses not shown on the diagram? I had new houses built behind me, it was a bit noisy but I can’t actually remember being that bothered. You could ask for the bins to be swapped to the other end of the parking bays - handier for the residents too.

So is that a driveway to the side of 39, leading to the 5 parking spaces and the visitor one? Or do the drivers come in from somewhere on the right hand side of the plan and therefore not past 39? It looks like the former to me. How will the new houses get their bins to the road for collection? If it's by going past your house and you get someone who likes putting their wheelie bins out at 5am like we have next door to us then that's going to get old fast. Plus the noise of potentially 6 cars going past multiple times a day and people opening and slamming car doors and shouting at each other. The text is blurry but I think it says Secure Gate so that being opened and closed might be noisy too.

Of course you might get three very considerate new neighbours but it seems unlikely.

Also parental pick up and drop off at the nursery is bound to get annoying. Presumably your parking is to the front, is there a chance some cheeky parent parks in it or blocks that gate?

My old house backed onto a nursery and it was fine - in fact lovely to hear children playing. The advantage was it was silent in the evening, at least you could be sure there wasn’t an antisocial family there. However, I wouldn’t have lived next door due to the number of cars dropping off and collecting. Children fine, some of the parents’ behaviour far worse!

Thanks everyone we have decided against this. Someone put an offer in anyway and it was above what we wanted to stretch to because of all the risks.
