    And then people wonder why being next to the affordable housing might be a bad thing!? This is why. Stereotypical it might be, but stereotypes come from experience of said behaviour. I hope you manage to sell to someone who doesn't mind but I think you're going to struggle unfortunately.

    Fireworks? Fire pits? Midday drinking and kids playing? All sounds like my cup of tea so it wouldn't put me off. But then I'm probably not the sort of person who would buy a fancy new build on an estate either which is perhaps the problem for the OP !!!128516;!!!128516;

    Selling to a 'buy to let' buyer / landlord would be ideal, as they won't care a jot about the neighbourly social scene. You may find you need to reduce the price to attract one though.

    They would care unfortunately, as tenants would be put off by bad neighbors.

    Ah the joys of new build estates........who's stupid idea was it that all new estates must include a mix of social housing

    Do not class everyone who lives in social housing, as the same we are not. Not everyone can afford the high cost of buying a house.

    There might be the odd example of this sort of behaviour in social housing areas, but its definitely not the norm. I haven't seen it on council estates and I've lived in some rough areas.

    But you wouldn't be spending an 'arm and a leg,' just an average amount for the property type.


    People who can afford to do so will buy in a more exclusive area, where there's no social housing, if that's what's important to them. It still won't guarantee them no trouble from neighbours though!

    :rotfl:One can still have trouble - but of a rather different nature. Eg no social housing - but a lot of the neighbours being long-standing and of the opinion they run/used to run the community and are therefore "more important":rotfl:
