Our last house, (semi) both sides professional people in their 50's, house with one agent £250k, no interest, changed agents, we had spent 12 years doing up ours inside and out, the other half of our semi had weeds a foot tall just in the gutters!, you can imagine what the garden looked like, the other side, household rubbish big stuff in the garden, for over a year. So many people came said they loved our house, but didn't want to live next door to the others, after some months, had to knock the price down to £211k to sell. The bitter irony, they both bloody moved the following year!! When we moved there the other side of the semi, we got on really well from the word go, our kids actually had sleepovers, similar ages. They had been there over 20 years, wanted a bigger place, unfortunately.
That must have been so distressing @Nanny Beach and clearly illustrates the lottery that is a NDN.
When my lovely semi-detached neighbour passed away nearly 2 years ago I (and my neighbour the other side of his house) were on tenterhooks to see who would view it, we were fortunate, although I had to readjust after living in a 'detached' house for a year
