Opinion on affect of living next to a pub?

in Debate House Prices & the Economy
Hi all

I was wondering if anyone can help me with some advice I am looking for: where can I find expert opinion on the affect living adjacent to a pub can have on a house value? (or is anyone willing to be that expert opinion?)

I am preparing a case for a Valuation Tribunal and need to find expert opinion to include within the case:
- The VOA have referenced the average house price for our street in 1993. However, our house is adjacent to a noisy pub so any expert opinion I can receive / find on the extent this can reduce a house price would be very useful so I can show the distance we may have been below that average in 1993.
- We also live 2 metres from a main road, whereas all other houses are set much further back. Any expert opinion on the extent (%) living on a main road can bring down a house price would also be very gratefully received.

I will build this expert opinion into my case, along with other points we shall be addressing.

Any help gratefully received

Thanks

    You've posted this in the wrong place. You need to go to the reclaim council tax subforum. There's a buy on there called lincroft who knows loads about CT and tribunals. He's your man

    Mods/BGs is it possible to move?

    Not all bad, shorter distance to stagger back when you are drunk.

    I've checked and you are now posting in the correct place. Good luck with your tribunal.
