    Due to only letting you view when anti social neighbours were not around ??? If you proceed study carefully the responses they provide on neighbour disputes...

    Very quick to jump to wild conclusions there! 

    The agent was inundated with offers, so the time opportunity for second viewings isn't there when competition is rife like that.  That's well accepted. 

    The OP has asked neighbours already and hasn't been given any indication that they are that bad at all.  
    Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

    I wouldn't chance it personally.

    If its 'scruffy' or run down looking I wouldn't want that next door even if they were nice. If its simply not quite as modernised and tarted up as the others then I'd not be so worried.

    It DOES affect values or rather saleability nearby, or at least always has done in the areas I've lived and bought.
    Sounds like smart advice.
