Industrial Bins behind house

freeisgood

I would just hate the idea of that amount of other peoples refuse near my property....smell or no smell.

HiToAll

ewwwwwwwwww, do not buy this house. other peoples dirt near you when you are making whoopie in your hottub, no thanks.

The bins have not been put near the house, as they are there whereas the house is not built.


Having bin nearby is not a selling point, so would not be mentioned .You are free to observe the situation, so if not happy walk away.The bins are unlikely to be moved, unless the houses fail to sell, because of them. However, it may be impossible for the builders to get them moved, especially if they are for LA owned flats and were there before the new building began.

I done believe the flats are there's yet either It's all the new phase - the bins are not there yet either! So we have to make a decision fast because the houses are realised in January and because there's only two if we want one we need to reserve it straight away. It wont be ready till 2018 but yea I guess we wouldn't mention it when selling but if they walked out the garden gate they would see them!

We are "gutted" because we don't want to pay £147,000 for a house and to smell other people's rubbish from all them apartments while sat in our garden so that's why we are gutted. As soon as the house comes up we planned to reserve it so in our heads it was basicly ours.
There are only two of these homes on the site and they are next door to each other so both have the bins behind

I suspect the bins are there to stay so you have two choices.


1. You can buy the house any way and spend the whole summer in your garden smelling the stench of rubbish and listening to the banging of the bin lids when people are putting their rubbish in there.


2. Walk away, find somewhere else.


Either way I still don't understand why you are "gutted" as you haven't exactly lost anything.

We are "gutted" because that is our dream home it's perfect for us and perfect layout. We have been looking a long time before finding this and being truly happy so that's why e are gutted because for a month now we have been set on this being our house then we realised about the bins so now if we choose to compromises and move to the other house we seen on the estate yes we can do it nice but its not the perfect one for us. So no essentially we haven't lost money but we have lost the home we wanted.

Why are you going to choose the other house, can you not wait until another dream home comes along, because they do. We lost out on a house we thought would be ideal but the one we have instead is far superior.

You say that you intended to reserve this house as soon as possible but somebody else may have had the same idea.


This house was a long way from being your house so in no way have you lost it.


In fact I would be really glad in your situation that I found out about the bins before I had gone any further down the line with regards to this property.

I used to live in a block of flats with communal bins and they never smelt bad. They were huge so there was plenty of space and they never overflowed, and were emptied weekly. They were also right at the end of the communal garden and didn't have any impact on the use of it.
If you're planning on having a hot tub in the garden I think I would be more concerned about privacy issues - will everyone taking their rubbish out be able to get an eyeful or will you have a high enough fence that they can't see in to your garden?

I lived in a block for 5 years where the 'bin room' was almost directly under my first floor flat.

For 4 years and 8 months it was absolutely fine, but one summer some idiot put something really putrid in one of the bins, it stank to high heaven until bin day then the smell didn't properly go for ages because some liquid or something was sitting at the bottom and not getting emptied. The biggest problem was the bluebottles though. Thousands of them. The poor caretaker did nothing but battle a plague of flies all summer and because of where my flat was if I opened my windows I had hundreds of the b*****ds to deal with too. It was bad enough for that one summer that it would completely put me off a house with multiple other people's bins at the bottom of the garden.

I had a different problem. They would come and empty the big industrial bins early in the morning which would wake me up. They didn't smell, but they were really noisy being emptied by my bedroom window.
