    My dad was a chartered surveyor. Always said never touch end of terrace. They are taking all the strain on the other houses and whatever structural alterations anyone else makes in the row.

    the kitchen of end terrace is "gully kitchen"

    I'm not having a go, but just FYI I suspect you mean a 'galley' kitchen - a rectangular kitchen with units down either side and a central corridor, as in a plane or ship (from whence the name derives).

    When we had our mid terrace valued, the end of of our terrace had just sold. A couple of agents said you'd add about a £10k premium (London) for end of terrace, all other things being equal.

    Along with all the other reasons people have given about gardening and side access etc, if there are going to be children involved, Id definitely go for an end of terrace . When I had young kids I lived in a middle terrace , and it was a right pain having them coming through the house with mucky/sandy feet having played in the back garden and their friends wanting to come and go every whipstitch to get a toy/hanky/whatever, from home . The 'shoes off' each time policy was sorely tested !

    Thanks ANGLICANPAT. This point did not occur to me.. :T

    Thanks GaggingOrder.. I thought instead of a fixed sum it will be percentage - like 5% more than terraced property value...

    They spoke in terms of a fixed amount, but I imagine a percentage is more likely to be used as a rule of thumb. To give you an idea, in our case that would have been about 2%

    Would you be brave enough to post links for each property here? I appreciate if you didn't but I'm curious (nosey!)

    Was thinking the same thing actually!

    But I would totally understand if the OP chooses not to aswell.
