Jackie McCormack, 58, and her husband moved into the 'absolutely beautiful' detached three-bed home in Coleshill, near Birmingham, at the end of February.
She complains that if the estate agent viewings had been at 2pm she'd never have bought it.
Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Originally posted by TwoWolves View PostThere are a number of large new developments happening not too far from me now.

Originally posted by Uncle Albert View PostYes, the planning department are the real villains here. She was stupid to buy there, but a 70mph road only a few feet from a new build is moronic. If one of their grandchildren kicks a ball over the fence you've got every chance of a potentially fatal crash.
And surely it's got to be "6 and out" when they play cricket and the ball goes over the fence?I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment

Whilst it's bad that the council allowed housing to be built so close to the road, this story is a simple tale of what happens when you don't do your research. You can't visit seven times and not consider visiting at different times of the day, or different days of the week. To say they don't blame the estate agent is naive - the estate agent knew the best time to book a viewing in.

Some entertaining comments on there though, like this troll: "A 'dream home' for 350k? Hilarious! Clearly she's a person with low aspirations in life. My conservatory cost more than that."Comment
