  • Nope, not a chance even if it were free :cool:
  • Only if it was the only way I could afford a house of that size because it has a huge discount and even then I would think think think , as in do we really NEED that extra bedroom !

    There would have to be a massive incentive, but someone will buy it when the price is right because people have to live somewhere and there is a housing shortage.

    Why would you want to gamble with being able to sell it in the future?

    You will vastly limit your future resale market so it comes down to how important that is to you. Then you factor in price of house, area style (how bad/good is pub, though that can change rapidly). Pubs have a very high failure rate so can potentially be bought and turned into very nice property - but again, it depends on area, style of building, commercial viability etc.

    So, short answer, no I probably wouldn't buy next to a pub, but I also wouldn't rule it out for the above reasons.

    Have you thought about buying the pub, then you'd be living in it rather than next to it?
  • If it is not an established pub it maybe closed by the time you complete!
    Ask neighbours if it ever caused any trouble. I live within close proximity to few pubs (now I think about it) and never had any problems. I live pretty central though and I like that.

    I would if I had a free couple of rounds every night.

    Did you mean if the pub was free or if the house was free?

    And would a free house also be a pub itself??

    Depends on the pub. We live next door to a pub, but it is a local village pub which is only really busy around dinnertime. Whilst there are people leaving at 1am on a Friday or Saturday night, there aren't many, and I can only remember 2 occasions when we have heard any noise.

    A city centre pub - no chance.
  • Did you mean if the pub was free or if the house was free?

    Either or both :p
