House backing on to a graveyard

[MrJuice]

I've come across a fairly nice Edwardian semi. It's kind of on the bend of the road it sits on so the garden is disproportionatrly big. Garden is probably upwards of twice the size it would be had it been in a straight terrace

Garden backs on to a graveyard. The garden and graveyard are separated by big mature trees.

It's been on the market for about 10 months. Probate sale. First put up at 685k, then reduced to 675k then 650k then 625k. Currently under offer.

I came across it yesterday so I'm going to see it during the week. Exchange has not happened so if I like it, I may place an offer myself

Question is, will I struggle to sell given the proximity to the graveyard?

I'll ask the agent why it hasn't sold to date. He mentioned that there was an accepted offer recently but the family who made the offer had to pull out because of birth complications with a pregnancy they were going through at the time.

Thoughts please

Cool, thank you folks

Is it morally okay for the vendor or in this case, the estate of the deceased to get less for the house?

Went to see it yesterday and the graveyard is fully visible from the upstairs back bedrooms. The trees separating the garden and graveyard are without leaves so in summer the graveyard will be hidden somewhat and in winter it won't

tbh, it doesn't bother me.

Turns out the people who have had their offer accepted are remortgaging another of their properties to pay for this one. They've had it surveyed but still arranging finance. I am also finalising finance so not in the strongest position but I am a FTB and my finance could be sorted in a few days. We shall see
