    But, if it is a "lifetime property" - then that's one way to make sure you get a suitable neighbour (ie have yourself as the neighbour):rotfl:.
    By unique lifetime property, I meant just that; a house that has unique features, not easily replicated.

    Neighbours don't come into that, as neighbours change and aren't under one's control. And as Doozer says, one always has neighbours, no matter what the size of the property.

    You'd soon decide that you were trying to steal something from yourself and start leaving dog!!! on your owwn doorstep.

    Hi,
    I was wondering if it is viable to buy our neighbour's detached house (currently on sale) and tear it down and build a large 5 bed 3 bath house on it

    Is what you should be asking!
