Are all New builds over looked? Would this bother you to be over looked?

    It would bother me to the extent I wouldn't buy the house, but why are you asking? I'm not buying a house

    The answer to the first question is no, but a lot are.

    It would not bother me if they were not that close, but they often are, especially overlooking the garden.

    Surely overlooking is partly property specific, depending on type and size of property, size of plot, location... This will apply to all property not just new builds.

    Thankfully harder for the developers to shift now that borrowing rates are normalising.
