Next door

A bit worrying! The skip was delivered today. Our wonderful youngish neighbour on her own, looks after her property, is quiet and neighbourly. Her father who had a bigger property down the road has died and I fear she is going to shift down there. Good for the horses she loves. The house is basic, unrenovated, broken windows and old. If she sells it, the only people who would want it would be a young couple with children! Help, loud children, loud vehicles! Or, on the other hand, someone might buy it for pulling down and putting up new units! That means building noises for at least 2 years!
Thankful for:
The peace and quiet at the moment!
Oh, fingers crossed for nice new neighbours and NO building works.

Oh dear that’s looks like change fir whatever the reason! Perhaps she is just having a clearing out do before doing her place up....fingers crossed but I agree it’s not looking good. I dare say you will find out very shortly! 😨

She sounds a perfect neighbour, so hopefully not too much is going to change.

@dide She is - she can see over our hedge (which she helps to cut) but never seems to look over!

@happypat What will be will be, Pat! We might end up having to move out but hopefully we have a few years left here!

Fingers crossed your new neighbours will be good ones. We had an empty block of land next door to us for 18 years and then the land was sold and we worried as to who would be building on it. Luckily a single storey 4 bedroom house was built. The builders didn't make much noise during the build and our new neighbour is a lady called Donna who like us is in her latter years. She lives alone although her daughter and grandchildren live only a few miles away and Donna looks after the children occasionally. The children are so well behaved and we don't hear any noise. Donna is such a lovely neighbour too. We are so lucky to have her as our friend and neighbour.

@maggiemae Oh I do hope so! I think all our new neighbours are quite relieved that we are moving in here as the size if the garden warranted building a much larger house or even two but we aren’t making much difference here as the garden is very important to us as it is.

Frustrating to speculate. Perhaps the new owners will be someone looking to settle down in a quiet neighborhood. I for your sake I hope it is not a distressing time.
January 7th, 2021  
Hoping for your sake, if she sells it, it will be to the best outcome for you.
January 7th, 2021  
🤞fingers crossed for good neighbors!
January 7th, 2021  
Hopeful you have quiet times, whoever moves in.

Fingers crossed for nice new NEIGHBOURS!!!!
January 7th, 2021  
Oh dear, that sounds like some action in the near future. Hope you get wonderful neighbours instead.

Fingers crossed for nice new neighbours...

@onewing That would be nice for you and for the area - a nice house!
January 7th, 2021  
@happypat We are the same - our property could easily have a unit built on it but we love the garden! Of course, we could buy the next door house, and either renovate and sell or pull it down and make a bigger garden!
January 7th, 2021  
@maggiemae Yes you could do that...lots to think about ! Find out what’s going on first!!
January 7th, 2021  
Fingers crossed for good neighbors!

Neighbors are a lottery, you can get the best or the worst. Luck

@yolanda If we don't like the look of prospective buyers we could convey the information that the neighbours hold noisy parties and dance naked on the lawn?
January 7th, 2021  
Oh dear! Maybe you should buy it for your own peace and quiet! :)
January 8th, 2021  
Don't worry until you have to worry. fingers crossed, all will be fine.

@bruni What good advice thank you Bruni! In fact I've been heartened by the comments here. We might get nice neighbours!
January 8th, 2021  
Sadly those kinds of changes seem inevitable but you may end up with some very nice neighbors if she sells, so here's hoping it turns out to be a win-win situation for everyone.
