House sale dragging on because of neighbour.

how many well dressed people with money do you see sniffing something on a weekend seems like the probability for the upper middle classes to be high as a kite is high indeed.

It's like saying you'd rather your nan lives next to a drug dealer than a doctor because what about Harold Shipman.

it's not really. just you mentioned social housing without the OP ever mentioning social housing and assuming everyone who lives in social housing is scum or something.
This is why developers like to keep social housing separate, much higher chances of having people with "issues", general noise, untidiness, and problems with dog mess, smoking etc..

so what about the people in this thread such as @VincentHanna do you live in social housing? or on a nice estate with your dog poop pebbled garden? seems weird on a place like this we have so many people who don't care abut dog muck.

isn't this the high earners club? surely looking from our ivory towers we can see only poor people are problem neighbours.

whos lived on a council estate? and how many probvlem neighbours did you have on your street? I'm guessing the odd one or two, like every other place in the country you could move to.

but dowies probability says your poor then your likely a problem and he won't want to live near you.

I feel for you OP. Difficult one. Can you not do viewings during the week in the daytime when the neighbours are at work? I know that would limit viewings a lot but, you only need one viewing potentially to kick start an offer. The danger is that they will probably come back and scout the house out at random times anyway and/or ask for a weekend viewing as well. It really is a problem that people like to laugh off as trivial when it's not. It's clearly affecting the sale of a house so people do in fact care.

If I went to view a house and it stunk of weed, I'd be more concerned if it was a neighbour than the people living in the house, but that's hard to work out without investigating a bit. All in, your likely to jog and look at another I feel.
 
Well I learned something today, I had no idea some people's lives were so dull they spend enough time staring at their neighbours gardens that it actually bothers them if they see a dog poo in it because of how it looks

Dull? When viewing a house to buy you are on high alert to try to work out what it would be like to potentially spend decades of your life living in said house. One therefore tends to observe all sorts of things. Does anyone ever look over a fence at the neighbours garden and try to get a picture of what they might be like? Yes. Of course. Do you think dog turds would generally be well received by most people viewing a house? Does it paint a good picture of potential neighbours?
What does it say about someone that leaves dog turds all over their back garden to fester?
People can only make a realistic judgement based on that one viewing. If they turn up and music is blasting for the duration from next door, guess what... they aren't trusting that the Estate agent claims this never happens and must be a one off.

It's not only the OP that's mentioned being bothered by dog poo in other people's gardens looking awful.

Besides, most sane people won't be hanging around long enough to be inspecting the neighbouring gardens for poo content if the place reeks of weed anyway.
 
I’m just impressed at those of you who rush out and pick up your dog poo immediately. I respect it cause right now that is not me.

Bit different in the summer months when you actually want to spend time in your garden and constantly cutting the grass but in the winter? I’m not losing any sleep that I have a poo or two in the grass.

Bloody lazy stoner.

As somebody who smoked for years, if my next door neighbour asked me to stop I would out of paranoia.......especially if I was renting. If I was in your shoes I would politely ask, most stoners are chill people.

I don’t know why there’s an argument to be made here.

I can’t imagine it’s nice to look out your kitchen/bedroom window to see a garden full of dog crap. It sounds like the garden is a mess, not just a day or two’s worth.

It does smell, especially freshly laid by bigger dogs. If the garden is close enough to your window.

And everyone’s different but it’s perfectly normal to pick up after your dog’s done its business. I like a clean and tidy house and that would always extend to the garden.

Oh and weed stinks, why are curry's getting discussed… :confused:
 
Can’t stand the smell of it. It reeks. This is my biggest peeve with making it legal tbh.

It would put me off buying a house if the neighbours smoked weed. I think you should just have a chat with them OP.
 
Not a big fan of the lingering stench of weed. It's more obvious than tobacco smoke.

Firstly the smell, secondly, all preconceptions of who's puffing away on weed as your potential neighbours.

Totally understand a buyer walking away, it's not their problem and it's pretty dumb to put down 6-7 figures for a house if they have any doubts about the neighbours.
