Bear in mind that you still have to live alongside your neighbour.  I lived next door to a guy who had a single storey wrap round extension, three feet from my boundary line.  It was an eyesore.  From my house, it looked like a council toilet block.  Not withstanding the view,  my fence was continually under attack from this and that being dragged along too small a gap between our two properties.

I never quite forgave him for his lack of consideration and ultimately, he was the one to suffer when I sold to the family from hell.

That is awful.

Are you suggesting that somebody should refuse to sell their house if they don't like the potential purchaser?  Following the death of my neighbour, all viewings etc were done by the agent and even their son didn't know who had bought it. 

The way it is presented sounds vindictive.

I would like to live in a world where people live honourably. A neighbour from hell in recompense for an eyesore and basic selfishness does not seem fair to me. All it does is drag the whole neighbourhood down.

I am going to do my utter damnedest to sell our house to 'recent arrivals to our country'.

You may see that as an act of revenge - are your neighbours discriminatory to immigrants? In which case it will be the buyer that suffers.

Really?  You mean you actually vetted all the potential buyers of your house and waited for a 'neighbour from hell' to turn up with a suitable offer?  Hmm.

It may have been the icing on the cake rather than the cake itself.

In our last house one side had 2 noisy boys who constantly kicked footballs against our fence and the other side had a large extended family who "socialised" regularly into the wee hours. We on the other hand are quiet and don't have as many visitors.
As fate would have it we sold to a family with 3 small boys, and when we met them, found out that they both had a large extended family. Karma

I would like to live in a world where there is no crime, everyone lives to a good age without suffering and everyone has more than enough food and clean water.
Unfortunately, like a world where everyone lives honourably, such a place only exists in books, films and in people's imagination.

Some things are within our gift and our personal behaviours are one such item.

No, of course not.  It just so happened that my buyer turned out to be a bit of a **** and out of the same selfish, damn everyone else mould.
