Noisy neighbours – the most unwanted factor when choosing a property in the UK

According to a new study, noisy neighbors are the most repulsive factor for those wishing to buy property in the UK.

Study brokerage company Ocean Finance suggests that about 55% of property buyers in the UK will postpone buying a house, choosing a house in a more quiet neighborhood. Next, the most repulsive factor is the dilapidated state of the house, according to 49% of the respondents. Then, should the poor condition of the property which is in the house – this argument was decisive for 43% of the respondents.

The lack of heating in the proposed dwelling are not satisfied with 30% and an untidy garden next door pushes 28% of people. Also unpleasant smells from animals or smokers confuse 27%, and 16% dissatisfied with poor utility of the building.

It is worth adding that the list included the lack of double glazing (14%), uncompleted construction or construction of the house (8%), lack masonry (7%) or the wrong color of the bathroom (4%). About 4% of the respondents would like to see the garden neglected, and 2% of potential buyers care about the decoration of the house.

Not to be missed the point that age is an important factor. For example, only 35% of people aged 18 to 24 years confuse noisy neighbours, while more than 65% of people older than 65 years are not willing to put up with this problem.

However, the older generation seem to be more willing to put up with the hardships associated with the utility state of the house. For example, 25% of people aged 55 to 64 and 27% of people aged 65 years and older, are more loyal to lack Central heating than young people from 25 to 34 years. In addition 10% of people older than 55 years is not concerned about the lack of double glazing. In turn, 21% want to buy a home in age from 18 to 34 years old , can stop this moment.

It seems that buyers are more insidious than the mold on the house, and at every opportunity will not avoid buying a suitable property, if they do not have enough money and time to make repairs and changes that are required.

But analysts from Ocean Finance believe that knowledge buyers the choice of housing is a good trend. We are talking not only about the condition of the house, but its location and General condition. All this gives the property great potential.
