    I don't think this road itself is that bad, but the Moreen estate right behind it has a very bad reputation. Drive around there at night maybe to see what it's like.

    I had a look at that house (if it's the one with the drumkit upstairs), thought it was decent enough. People said that the areas bad, but I went to and from there every day for years (a couple of years ago now). I thought it was ok. Not a massive fan of Moreen but I was comfortable walking around. That's the best way to find out if you can live there, go for a few walks around the place at the weekend evenings, see what the nightlife is like. It's certainly a decent location.

    Although we decided not to get it. But yeah. It was ok.

    Hi Thanks for your reply.

    I have visited the place many times in night and did not find any issues. Spoke to few people near by.

    I have looked at the house but could not progress further as the agent keeps on toping up the offer and there are lots of inconsistencies in the conversation about the owner. In between i have been told that the house is sold and after few days it appeared under a different agent's name.

    The second agent told a different story altogether after few days we decided not to progress with the house even thought it was good.
