Could you do anything so it doesn't put you off.

Im not sure what you mean? Its a bit like having a nice little cottage at the end of an industrial estate. Not quite that extreme but you get the point.

Yes I didn't explain myself well.
If it was better presented at the front would you be interested ?

Yeah I still have the viewing on the other house to come at the weekend. The two I just called up about (from Tiglet's list) have both gone under offer.

I don't know how much weight I should give to issues like the unadopted road, or the very steep garden. Obviously those things affect what the house would sell for and are the reason I might get it for a good price. But at the same time maybe I should not be taking those risks at all? Earlier in the thread people were ruling out a shared driveway which I assume is for a similar reason - the potential for big hassle.

Im not a fan of a shared driveway, purely for the posts Ive read on here so your right to avoid them.

If that house was in a better location it would be out of your budget.

If you go on Google streetview you can see your potential next door neighbour (assuming they have't moved in the meantime)

What’s the house you’re viewing at the weekend? 
Ref todays go and have a drive round the area at different times of the day to see what it’s like

Couldn't be any more different could it really. Probably why I struggle to choose, its not like im deciding between two generally similar houses on the marginal things, its real extremes.

Ahhh you got a viewing on it! 
You’re really keen on this one aren’t you? It looks really nice
Good price, end house and better location? Also cul de sac location is a tick 
i think we all like different styles of properties for different reasons

Also I don’t think you will struggle when you view ‘the one’ 
What about the one in Coseley on at 160k? 
today’s property can you imagine yourself pulling up in the street every day? As previously stated go and have a drive round at different times of the day and night if you can

Yeah if I was to mark them out of 10, this one is probably 6/10 for house, 6/10 for location*, and the one I saw today the house is obviously much nicer , 9/10) and the location* probably 3/10. Gardens slope in both houses but one is steeper.

* im judging location on what is available generally in this area, not on what its like in really posh places.

As someone else said earlier It’s nice to see you ‘speak’ so positively about a house 👍
