and people wonder why developers begrudgingly add social housing but try to keep it separate in different blocks round the corner or with different entrances...

frankly no one wants to live next to social housing (yup I'm sure some people who live in it are nice, normal people - tis just the high portion of dysfunctional unemployable ones who ruin it)

lol sounds like where I live

one of the blocks is all young men/women kinda chavvy like.
I'm in a block with mostly OAPS and working families.

I'd rather be in the chav block though as it seems to be where the fit women who go out clubbing live

I think there's only 2 bangables in my block

and I've only encountered them both once in 2 years so they might just have been visiting

every time my neighbours move out I pray for a fit lass but so far It's just old people that move in

I left an old washing machine outside my driveway for a week. Was hoping the scrapman would pick it up, to save me the tenner fee for the council, or the fiver in petrol to move it myself. Fortunately the scrapman appeared just as I was starting to get hassle from Mrs Cheesyboy for leaving white goods out in the street "what will the neighbours think!"

OP: ask the neighbours if it's going spare, then take it to the tip yourself.

the ****** are more efficient round our way I left an old washing machine in the street and it was gone in less than 45minutes a pair of rusty old speaker stands only lasted a day!

I've had terrible issues with neighbours in the past. Anything like this would be a red flag and an indication of potential future issues.

That's probably what he is trying to do by selling his house, what a strange comment to make

Um, whoosh? I suspect he knew that and was joking.

Just go over to the settee, put a For Sale sign on it with a price, it'll be stolen in less than a day

Haggisman · 7 Jul 2015 at 14:11

Stick a note on it saying "For Sale - £10"

Guarantee some ***** will have it within 5 minutes

LMAO...what are the chances.

Pay some hot girls to sit on it whenever there's a viewing happening.

set fire to the sofa and then take a dump through their letterbox............. standard GD solution to any neighbour disputes, it never fails. You may or may not need to back it up with a mandatory boxing stance

Look at these two peas above me, how cute :rolleyes:

If they are approachable then it may be worth asking if they can move it into their garden until your place is sold if they have no intention of getting rid of it, or maybe it's worth going half's on getting rid of it!

RoyMi6 · 7 Jul 2015 at 14:21

Haha, love the people in this thread that wouldn't be put off buying.

Wonder what's on their front lawns...

Call the council - say you saw a family of rats living in it. Job done.

Just looked on the council site, £37 to remove, which is why they probably haven't bothered!

I'd pay it, the sale of your place is going to take more of a hit than 37.

Yeah it would, if I found my perfect home at a great price I wouldn't be deterred by a neighbours sofa left in the garden.

Anyone else on this forum not put an offer on a place simply because they saw a neighbours garden not up to standard?

It wouldn't be my perfect home if the neighbours left their sofa in the front garden for more than a few minutes. Who knows what else they feel is acceptable.

Well sure it would be an eyesore to look at. But that doesn't have any impact on the house being sold. The house is still the same and if the house is everything they was looking for, it's still a perfect house with just an unsightly attraction in the surroundings.

Uther · 7 Jul 2015 at 14:32

I'm looking at houses to buy now, one of the first things I do is go to streetview and look at the surrounding houses.If the gardens are full of **** I don't bother going any further. It is a sign of a lack of respect for the area.

Exactly. We are looking to move house at the moment as well and go digging on Google Streetview / Earth. If somebody can't look after and respect their own property, what hope is there for your own property or environment?

Yeah, was much quicker when I lived in Bristol - I'm out in the sticks now.

The chap even knocked on the door to check if he could have it!
