    Why is somebody who wants to relax in their own property/garden a "sour faced misery"? We just don't want to live next door to low-class noisy drunks with feral brats.

    You must live in a chavved up area. :p We and our next-door neighbours both have a few BBQs each summer. Neither of us play music in the garden (one of my own pet hates) and we move everyone indoors by about 8pm so we don't disturb the neighbours. This is in an area of £500k houses. Though with the way house prices have gone in the south-east in recent years, that's most houses. :rotfl:

    One of the reasons we moved from our old house is that a neighbour played music in their garden all day, every day throughout summer. I hated it. They didn't have a BBQ.

    Well, obviously no-one would want to live next door to a B&Q.

    Would you buy a house with a brick BBQ or obvious BBQ next door?

    Only if there was a fair chance that when I stood next to the fence (arms outstretched holding a ready sliced bun with all the trimmings) the neighbour would dutifully slide a freshly cooked burger into it. :)

    Me too! :o

    Does anybody's opinion change if we substitute a hypothetical, middle class pizza oven for the apparently low-brow BBQ?

    Its would not even cross my mind to check the neighbours garden for BBQs when viewing a house. How odd....
