PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

[New Build] Living next to a motorway

The noise would seriously affect my quality of life, I would not even consider it. But I guess as others said, different people prioritise different things. Be honest with yourself about how much it troubles you. Better to regret the house you didn't buy that the house you did!0

I once went to look at a house that backed onto the A316, and the noise in the garden was horrendous. The owners insisted that they didn't notice the noise, but it was too much for me.0

In my halls of residence at uni I lived in close proximity to 2 motorways! I always had the window open and could just about hear the noise, but it was just background noise - just like living a few streets away from the tube (overground part of the tube) now.
Be glad you're not my friend who has the railway and tube line literally at the end of her garden! A very busy line coming out of Paddington!0
