I won't touch it, as it lost 2 hours sunshine in the moring and 2 hours sunshine in the noon, this is nearly all sunshine you can get between OCT to FEB, As My friend he like it, and he don't believe my idea0

it is better less sunshine in the summer, but from oct to feb, 5 months, this house lost 2 hours morning sunshine and 2 hours earlier afternoon sunshine.0

What is the point of this thread?
You have said over and over 'this house lost 2 hours sunshine'.
No-one disagrees with you.12 -
yes there will be quite a lot of shading for the property.0

1) The present owner obviously doesn't find this 'serious' lack of sunshine too much of a problem. Obviously a keen gardener and seems to be growing very successfully so the garden and the house must be getting a generous amount of sunshine.
2) With the rising temperatures, I would have thought a couple of house less direct sunlight would be an advantage, not a disadvantage. I have to provide shading for most of my plants in my suntrap garden, even some of the ones that supposedly like sunlight.
As has been said, any house with neighbours, walls, trees will suffer some brief loss of sunlight. The buildings don't seem to be dense enough to cause enough lack of sunlight to be a serious problem.
Maybe you need to find somewhere very isolated or in a desert if this bothers you?
Have you spoken to the present owners about the sunlight in the garden and house?4 -
Ah, but the present owner doesn't have a subshine app. If she did, she'd be mortified!deannagone said:1) The present owner obviously doesn't find this 'serious' lack of sunshine too much of a problem.

This thread is really strange...12

I think I've lost the plot with this.....
My garden is north facing, but I have a bungalow and there are no tall properties surrounding me that block the sun. I do have some trees at the back of the garden and there are some areas which are in shade for part of the day. However there is more than enough sun both Summer and Winter for me to not be concerned at all. In fact, this is the best garden I've had compared to south, east and west facing in previous houses.
OP, find another property. You will never be satisfied with this one.2 -
lol, sure, as I used a software to calculate the sunshine, and in the real world, I am not 100% sure the calculation is correct, this is why I am keeping state it and asking, sounds strange right? Thanks.0

Thanks, yes, bungalow itself should not block much sunshine for its own garden, and your have no higher building around, so you are lucky to get bright nice home!Tiglet2 said:I think I've lost the plot with this.....
