Can You See Any Issues With Buying This House (With The Bin Situation Etc)

[bluefortress]

Just looking for opinions. I am thinking of buying a new build and have been looking at plots- plot 55 I really like and is one of the few available. 
 

However if you look at the plan my sister anong other family don't think its s good idea because of the bin situation at the front. According to the waste management plan details (on another plan) - in order to put their bin out plot 56 would take their bin from the gate  and follow the path down the front of my window. Also as you notice the parking is asymetrical for most of the plots lol
 

I don't think it will bother me much, living in a terrace is about compromise. Just wanted opinions though can you forsee any issues.. Would the bin thing bother you?

I'd spend my time making sure that the newbuild isfreehold not leasehold and that there are no maintenance/service charges attached to the property

Thanks Brain, Ive researched your points. Would the situation in the op not really bother/be neglible to you then..

[brainiac]

It wouldn't bother me.  I'm lucky where I live as it's a private courtyard and we have a bin store where all the bins are kept locked out of sight.

One of my sil's lives in an end terrace, her neighbour, through-the-wall, has to drag relevant bin through her garden and down shared path. This has been going on for 30plus years so doesn't seem to annoy them enough to be a deal breaker.

[bluefortress]

Albaq- yea if you look at the plan the end terraced have the neighbours walk their bins around their gardens. Not through though as its fenced off. 
This is why I wanted to check general opinions as my family insist that having a neighbour with a bin walk past your front window is sn invasion if privacy. I can't afford a home without some kind of compromise though 

[bluefortress]

Although I do think the design of the plots is stupid. They could have had enough room for everyone to park in front of their house. The end terrace has their neighbour park in front of them while they park across the road.

Bit of an irritation but not a deal breaker. Depends on who moves into 56 though. If they are nice and friendly you can make it work.

[davebro3]

Not sure I understand - why would 56 drag their bin in front of 55. Surely they would put it alongside their parking spot - or is there some sort of barrier preventing that?

[ToraToraTora]

Dave look at the diagram closely, there is a path from 56 past 55 and round the parking spaces.

[davebro3]

just cos there's a path don't mean you have to follow it!

[bluefortress]

Its on the 'waste management' plan 56 is supposed to drag their bin down the path in front of 55

[davebro3]

but is there anything to physically prevent them from crossing their parking space?

[ToraToraTora]

they'd at least have to go down and up a kerb.

[ToraToraTora]

could be a wall/fence there we can't tell from the diagram.

[bluefortress]

True Dave I suppose they don't have to follow it. If I followed every path I came across Id end up god knows where

[Rosie29]

I live in a T shaped develpment and live   in am end of terrace house in one of the corners.  I have to pass other houses for access and also taking bins out.

No roblems yet - 35 yeaŕs.

[davebro3]

bins day will be only once every 3 or 4 weeks anyway!🤣

[bluefortress]

Dave - Im not saying it makes it more of a nuisance but bin collection is every week, its a different colour every week
