Price between semi-detached and detached

chickaroonee

I think the noise from a semi really varies. The wall between ours and next door is nearly 2 foot thick and none of the living space adjoins theirs. We don't hear anything at all from them, and they apparently don't from us. Just sometimes their front door shutting.

I would guess noise in a new build may be more.

It all depends on where you were brought up.

I have lived in flats located in the city to my current home which is detached. Neighbour noise is less in a detached and worse off in anything attached.

Noise itself can be different and people react differently depending on where they were brought up.

A friend wanted to buy some derelict flat in London at an ungodly price. If I were dictator of the world, I would have had the whole area including the block pulverised and cleaned. It was ghastly and all my London based friends where all on about the massive flat and the lovely area. It was cramped and noisy and unfit for human life - that was my opinion. But that comes from someone who lives in a small village/town in Kent. I went for a detached house as my first home. If my house (which I paid a modest price) was located in central london they would carve 6 flats out of it, which Londoners would say Gigantic and name it the Gigant house They would swear how quite it is.

To the OP you need to decide how much is it worth to you!! Not to someone else who thinks a turd is a nice cake. I paid 25% more for the detached as I hate the noise of someone hovering or farting and that is why I don't live in London as I cannot afford a detached house in central london. But then I am a boring person

Hope it helps.

I moved after 20 year in a mid-terrace with garage in a separate block to a detached with integral garage. It's heavenly

I looked at a detached which was otherwise perfect but the garage had been turned into a home cinema room. I walked away.

The property that we are interested in now (Semi with no garage) is a new build

Uh, oh!:eek:

I spent five years living next door in a semi to utter scum. I would never willingly live in a non-detached property again. Up to the point where the filth moved in, I had never experienced any problems and loved our house. So much depends on what your neighbours are like though - and you can't control when lovely ones will move out and horrible ones move in.

its a good job we are all different , or nobody would live in a mid terrace and just think of all those semi's going to waste , LOL

oh and some detached property's are so close to each other ,they might as well be attached ,

my friends house is detached and she can hear what is on the next house along tv ,new builds seem to have thin walls, so don't buy any of these either

what are we left with ? a detached in the middle of nowhere , bliss
