Buying a house next to busy road

[bobspud]

A lot more affordable than a nice detached house in a leafy area with good schools and Waitrose...

Those sorts of things tend to escalate fast though. Especially in shared spaces like flats

Yeah we know, our very own poster Wilmslow had to deal with his mafia neighbours ...

Depends on the area, obviously not Birmingham, but sometimes worth considering replacing the bat with a sawn off.

Sawn-off bats don't fly very well, trust me.

If you are thinking that way, you don't need to worry.

As a true country man, I'm sure you would just make the "problem" disappear completely.

And so do the people annoying you...its better not to go there not to forget regardless of how pissed off you are, taking a weapon around to your neighbors house to explain matters is likely to get you some peace in the form of your own cell. That's if they don't report a firearm incident and get you shot.

Surely they accidentally shoot you first and only then report firearms incident? Otherwise it looks like premeditaded murder...

I lived next to a busy road for 7 years, double decker buses each way every 10mins from 530am till midnight, when they went past my door knocker and rads in house vibrated, in rooms where we had windows open alof black dust would collect. You get used to it in end but I always knew deep down I would have to move because of noise. The prices I paid reflected the location and the price I sold it at did to. I would not buy next to busy road again but if it helps you get up property ladder and you recon it will sell later on its worth considering, I had a queue of people wanting mine but it was in London.

Yep, when I cannot hear the trains at my parents unless I listen out for them and I moved away 26 years ago. In fact the only time I hear them is when explicitly listening out for its arrival (it gives me a 10 minutes warning for the 3 minute walk to the station to catch its return to London)

I lived a few hundred yards from the main line through Durham and actually quite liked it... you heard the odd 'toot' and the noise of the trains was quite soothing. Although the houses did tremble every time a train went by,

I don't think Waitrose tend to build in the countryside, they prefer towns.

Depends on the A road. This one's not too bad.
