Poll started 11 October 2016

Would you live at a murder scene to bag a house price discount?

Last year a North London flat sold at a £100,000 discount to similar properties because a serial killer committed his murders there. We want to test your attitudes to prior property history.

In which circumstances would you NEVER buy, even at a big discount?

Many years ago I shared a student flat in which a famous murder had taken place. We regularly had TV companies, journalists, authors etc. coming round.
It provided a regular source of income as they always gave us a fee for the inconvenience.

The known criminal kind of depends what they did, and the drugs den depends on how long ago it was.

Either one I'd only be concerned about in case of people thinking the previous occupants were still there.

Is there anywhere we can find these corrupted properties? We could really do with a bargain!

Yep. We bought our current home after the husband had strangled his wife in the house. Needless to say the estate agent didn't tell us about it, but we did know before we bought it.
That was in 1997 and we're still here, and still no sign of her ghost...

No I could not.

my parents bought their house which I grew up in. my dad died in his bedroom 9 years ago and 4 years ago my mum died and I bought my sister share of the house.


so I now live in the house and sleep in the bedroom where my father passed away. do I enjoy this house, yes as it makes me feel safe and secure. however I wouldn't like to live in a haunted house or in an area which would make me feel insecure.

I'd be willing to pay extra!

Well I'd want them to clear the bodies and stuff first.

I answered this completely wrong - I thought it was "which one would you be willing to live in" lol

People are still scared of mobile phone masts? Did they not get the memo?
