Hi Guys,
Last week a posted thread about potentially buying a house near a railway.
Today i viewed a really nice house, good value for money, decent rooms sizes in a central location etc ...but the only thing is..... Its next to a cemetery! :eek:
As soon as i looked out the master bedroom window i could see the graves about 70ft away, that immediately put me off, i cant wake up every morning and think of death.
Just wanted to know, what your thoughts were.
Would you buy a house next to a cemetery? do you think this would affect the resale of the house?

I would, I live opposite a Church and graveyard now, no problem at all for me. Not sure about resale value though?
At least you know they won't build there!!A minute at the till, a lifetime on the bill.

Go for it. Yes I would buy it definately. You arn't going to have any trouble with your neighbors and it will be so peaceful.
I think more advantages, than dis0 -
I wouldn't have a problem at all. Far better than looking into someone elses windows!Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

Quiet neighbours. Deathly.
But seriously why not - must be better than a railway line,
p.s. don't get any George Romero films out on dvd.0 -
I would most definately say 'yes'. I lived right next to a cemetary for several years, and I can honestly say they were the best neighbours I have ever had! Go for it!0
