Would you buy a house next door to one with 2 tramps living in it?

[Washersaurus]

So, we aren't really looking for a house properly, but with DC3 on the way and DH working from home more often than not, we need a slight upgrade (slight is all we can afford)

We went to view a quite nice house the other day, but there are 2 stinky old geezers living in the house next door. Their house is run down and dirty looking - we believe social services may be involved.

The houses are semi's and the doors are right next to each other, but the back gardens are totally fenced off.

Am I being totally unreasonable to be put off? Would you mind living next door to them?

DH is sulking, and I have agreed to go back for a second viewing on Thursday.

and resale don't forget resale (in terms of putting dh off).

Yes, good point edam - resale should be at the top of my list as so many have pointed out.

I just can't think past the hairy tramp man!

Thank you so much for you input everyone - had to check I wasn't being irrational about this one.

Any developments?

I was thinking of you (and looking for dodgy houses/dodgy men ) when I drove through your neck of the woods yesterday.

I told DH that I hated it after the 2nd viewing, and he sulked. I have since viewed another lovely house in a nicer street and am trying to convince him it is the one for us. It could do with a little updating, but would be much much better than living next door to tramps

Good luck in convincing him.

The right house will come your way.

Hmm, he is keen to make an offer on my choice but we still need to sell ours - how I now regret dithering about marketing it sooner...

I doubt we will get this one in the end, but it is worth a shot I suppose.
