House backing on to a graveyard
Discussion
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

If it helps you, I once bought, developed and sold a Georgian house that backed onto a graveyard, an older part of the house was linked to the church. I found it a quiet and peaceful location, and it seemed to give the house a real 'calm' feeling, the graveyard didn't seem to bother many people and actually helped make it a great location, it was sold for a nice profit. If it was a bigger house I would not have hesitated to live there myself.

A house I viewed backed on to a grave yard but the ground level of the grave yard was about 6ft higher than the garden of the house, there was something quite off putting, for me at least, the thought of sitting in the garden and being at the same level as rotting bodies, I had visions corpse juice oozing into the garden.

Wouldn't bother me but either there's something very wrong with it or......

Why would there be something very wrong with it?The vendors started off with an unrealistic delusional asking price and gradually reduced it as their expectations got readjusted until it eventually reached a price that the market was willing to pay.
