would you buy house next to Pub

n217970

Had this exact same conversation with a mate the other week as there is something similar for sale near me.

Me - "no way think of the noise at kicking out time"
Mate - "would love to buy it, I'd only have to stumble 10 yards home at kicking out time"

I would also think about, given the failure rate of pubs that it may close down and not open up as anything.
I am thinking of a pub a few miles from me, that I drive past quite often, and has been closed down for at least 3 years. It has been obviously neglected, boarded up, weeds have grown up around it, and could be a taget for vandels, squatters, people hanging out in the carpark.

I lived in a flat ( rented) beside the car park of a weatherspoons pub and a small row of shops

We had people having sex in our garden. We had drug dealers and prostitues doing business in the car park. Cars were often trashed on a Saturday night - keyed or wing mirrors ripped off. Broken glass and food wrappers everywhere. The kicking out noise was the very least of our problems

No.


1. Noise levels
2. Car - insurance may be high

I don't suppose the house is in crossgates?
If so I wouldn't buy the house next to that car park, especially given that it's not the best pub.

The bingo club may also be a problem. You get what you can afford.

No way - I have lived 3 doors down from a back street pub for many years and would not recommend it to anyone. When selling it, investors weren't so concerned but people who may have actually lived there themselves were totally put off and I couldn't blame them.

the car park could become a rest for more than travellers.

I'm guessing it's this one?

Really depends on the pub - and how old you are.

In my 20s I used to live in the terrace you can just see here in the background down the car park entrance here.

Pretty quiet pub. Described by the estate agents at the time as a "drinkers pub" - ie somewhere people go for a few quiet pints and not rowdy. Used to have fairly regular lock-in back in those days - the short walk home was a definite advantage then.

Great when I was younger - like a bit more distance now. Its 100 yds to the nearest pub these days.
