Industrial Bins behind house

kingfisherblue

I too would walk away from this property. It may seem to be your dream home, OP, but it could turn into a nightmare when the bins are full, not cleaned properly, and the flat dwellers don't care because it isn't disturbing them. If you have health problems, it's even more reason to walk away - the last thing you need in the future is stress if you are feeling unwell.

Keep saving and keep looking.

We found our 'dream home' once, but it was just slightly out of our price range and the seller wouldn't take a penny less. A week later, we found our new home. Two more children and over twenty years later, I'm still happy here (although divorced now - nothing to do with the house though!).

Another house will come along. In the meantime, you have more time to save and to look for a different house, one without someone else's rubbish near your door.

One thing I would say to the OP is to try and not get so attached to any particular house so earlier in the purchasing process.


This particular house was such a long way from being yours and you are so disappointed about it not being suitable.


Many things can go wrong in the house buying process and you are setting yourself up for a lot of heartache if you feel that you have lost something when things go wrong.


Think of this as an opportunity for you to get something which is far more suitable for you and good luck in your search.

Thank you!! I'm very new to this whole forum thing only discovered it when I started googling Taylor Wimpey, but yes your right! Thank you.

Thank you - I think we were just so excited with having a mortgage excepted etc but yes I now understand how many things could pop up along the way and end up stopping you buying the house, I think I've learnt my lesson about getting attached to early!

Thank you - you've made the most valid point ever and I've been so caught up in thinking about it as our perfect home I never even thought of the stress this could bring whenliving there if they got smelly and all the other things and especially how much we do not need that when I'm not well and in pain. That's really nice that you are still there and happy!

That's actually a bit of an idiotic thing to say old boy. I'm sure you're aware of how much emotion and excitement/planning/discussion/personal investment us made when someone thinks they've found their dream home.

This bin store could be noisy, smelly, and hinder privacy. You'll have people walking by your fence many times a day banging bin lids, and a good chance that they'll not be sufficient and therefore people will start leaving things beside them. Seagulls will start raiding them.

I wouldn't buy this house in the OPs position.

No. The idiot is the one buying this type of property.

I proffer an opinion at no personal cost. They're spending £0000'S

Think of it a a learning curve when looking for the next property. I rushed in and regret it.

1. I live in a block of flats with communal bins (34 flats with 8 x 1100L communal bins for general waste). My local authority collects the general waste every 2 weeks but food waste and recyclable material is collected every week. There is hardly ever any smell from the general waste bins even in summer.

2. How close to other properties are you if you plan to run a hot tub? I know of someone who has had a noise abatement notice served on them by the Council for causing a statutory nuisance. The noise being created by regular use of a hot tub (plant and machinery and noise from the jets etc.) The council determined the noise to be a nuisance likely to occur. If you Iive close to other residential properties it may be something to be wary of before installing a hot tub.

I wouldn't buy near a bin store - especially someone else's bin store!

The one in our flats stinks in the summer, plus the noise of them emptying it at 0530 every Thursday morning.

One of the first things I checked on the new flat I'm buying is that the refuse room was on the other side of the block

Good luck finding a property that suits you, OP.

I wish you luck in the future and hope that you find what you are looking for and at least now you know a bit more about what can happen when buying a home.


Also as you have found this forum you can always come back and ask for advice on any other issues that may arise.
