House backing on to a graveyard

[LeadFarmer]

My mates house backs onto a grave yard. He uses the grave yard as a golf driving range from his patio. Also great for shooting air rifle from your garden.

[Drumroll]

Our house backs onto a graveyard never give it a second thought. Does mean it is generally quite. Only the occasional digger preparing a grave. Brought our daughter up, never had a bad night because we lived next to a grave.

Always the first house wiped out by the Zombies.

Go for it, people will be dying to live next to you.

Have it exorcised to make sure it has no unwelcome guests.
HOWEVER,ensure you pay the bill or it will be repossessed!

Just make sure Dr. Freudstein has moved out of the basement.

I think it possibly might put off some people, but I am sure they would only be a minority. It certainly wouldn't put me off a house. I have friends who live next to a graveyard. It is a pretty and quiet location.

No way, not for me!

And remember, if you are living in a house that backs onto a grave yard then you are not allowed to be buried in that grave yard.

You may want to think twice about buying a dog...

Handy for home based necromancy though.

Really? Why not?

You may have to employ an Igor.

The temptation to rise from the grave and go home is too great. Can also be a bit scary for the current homeowners if your family have moved on.

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.

Fair point. It might well have been overpriced.

My 1st house was built on a a very old graveyard around 1850, it's was a cluster cottage in a square.
At the top of the square one cottage was a rental, and people never seemed to last long living there before they moved out.
Fine it was an odd litle place and i never thought anymore of it, but one day a new guy moved in with a boxer dog and seemed very normal, slowly seemed to be a little more "spooked" as the wks went by until one morning i saw him on my way to work and he looked like he had seen a ghost, asked if he was ok and he informed me he was moving out that day and will never return.
Will never forget he look on his face when he told me it was haunted.

Strange, but no one seem to stay long after that.

always up for rent

We actually looked at a house actually inside a graveyard once. Didn't bother me or the OH - only reason we didn't put an offer in was the general area surrounding the place was a bit crap. The house and garden were beautiful though.
