Buying an ex housing association house
UKSBD
Posts: 842 Forumite
I'm thinking of buying an ex housing association house, the last one in their ownership from a row of 8.
Tennants died and the housing association don't want to keep the last one.
Are there any pitfalls or anything to look out for when buying ex housing association?
My solicitor will obviously do all the searches, but interested myself to know myself what could potentially cause any problems.
It's a semi with all in their own land, so no shared access or rights of way from what I can see, anything else to be concerned about?

Go and see the neighbours on each side. From the horses mouth so to speak.
Ex local authority houses are normally solidly and well built.make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0 -
Thanks, that's top of my list.
There is a quite large conifer a metre my side of the boundary, which I'm assuming they will be glad to see the back of, so I'll use asking their thoughts on removing it as an ice breaker.0 -
Also try and see who lives behind you.
Some people I know have lovely neighbours both sides but were plagued by the neighbours behind them until they got evicted.I'm not cynical I'm realistic
