I remember my mother taking us up to see a terrace house when my parents split, the neighbour revealed the old lady who lived there before died on kitchen floor.

i remember looking up at my old mother, thinking, you fuking dare, I'll make your life a living Fukin hell if you make me live here.

we moved across the road

i had a similar predicament to this, when we were buying our first house with the mrs a few years ago.

in our case a young lad had hung himself in one of the bedrooms, didn't bother me one bit, but it freaked my other half out and she wouldn't have none of it. by a strange turn a fate a friend of a friend bought it in the end, and they had nothing but problems, strange noises, stuff moving in that room. I don't believe in ghosts and all that rubbish, but hes sane and a genuine hard fella, truth be told, and it scared the shite out of him, they got it exorcised and had no further issues apparently.

I would imagine youd have to declare it, as estate agents have to if someone has died at the property within in a certain time period of sale.

Thats depressing, the guy hangs himself to end it and ends up stuck haunting his house!

My mrs would be the same, every little noise "that's the ghost" etc.
 
Is it any different to someone dying naturally though.

murdered or natural death, someone has probably died quite a few houses
 
Lol Jane wants to put an offer in...lol

The heartless cow :D

If its still on the market in 6 months I might do as its quite close to me :-) Would make a nice BTL and a nice blank canvas :-)

I know H. I feel the same. Once you're dead you're dead. Doesnt stop your mind playing tricks on you though. I dont believe in ghosts. Spirits etc etc one bit but I still **** myself when I went on a ghost tour in Edinburgh lol

The deads fine, it's the living that you've got to watch.
 
Danny you need to ask yourself this very important question before making any decision.

Would you watch and episode of strange but true, on your own in the dark?

if yes, the house will be fine, if no (like me) I would give it a miss
 
Fk.............. All this talk of deaths has reminded me of the time down in my local when someone cracked that joke about what to do if an epileptic has a fit in the bath. Answer "Throw your washing in"
After we'd all stopped laughing this old fella, eyes filling up all watery like, had a word with the landlady who looked horrified. my mate asked her what he'd said and she told him that his son had recently died and the joke had annoyed him. Feeling quite guilty and embarrassed, my mate thought it best to apologise to the old fella, so he went over. The old gent then explained to him that the joke had got to him because his son was an epilectic and that's what had killed him.
By now I could see my marra was shifting uncomfortably from foot to foot so I went a bit closer to listen in (not too close, didn't want the old codger dragging me into the crack like!) He told my mate how his son had slipped IN THE BATH :RpS_scared: and that was what had killed him. My mate, now with tears in his eyes, asked if he'd hit his head on the taps or something to which the old bloke replied "No, he choked on one of my socks"

Is it something you would have to declare? @Rigsby would know most likely as he is our TPF lettings God :-)

Depends if you are going to live there yourself or not. To buy to let you might get quite a turnover of tenants if they get to know the history. For btl I would give it a miss.

My first house had had a child die in it but we had no problems. Next door had my neighbour die it it and it was haunted.
