That must be terrible, how do you manage?
You cannot believe how bad it is!! Surrounded by hundreds of other 3 bed semis, nearly all with garages. Wish I hadn't demolished my garage, but OH wanted more garden and a new patio to replace the one we built an extension over.If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales0 -

No but it is snobbish to denigrate 3 bed semis, which probably make up the majority of housing in the country. Hundreds of thousands were built in the suburbs of London and other towns/cities in the 1930s and are quite sought after.
I also do not do drugs, smoke, have fancy cars, take foreign holidays every year, or have anything on HP. But I could if I wanted to.If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales0 -
