martss   10 #13 Posted September 23, 2011 what ever you do dont buy a house on there full of jobbers and no hopers let there kids run wild while mum or dad sits in front of tv drinking or smoking that smelly stuff the top end of the estate going towards woodhouse village is not that bad its more down in the middle and on that deadend i think they call it goathland drive thats full of people that you would find on jeremy kyle  I know people that live on there and you couldn't be further from the truth, there's good and bad on every estate or street and tarring everyone with the same brush is unfair and wrong.

tahititwo   10 #15 Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) what ever you do dont buy a house on there full of jobbers and no hopers let there kids run wild while mum or dad sits in front of tv drinking or smoking that smelly stuff the top end of the estate going towards woodhouse village is not that bad its more down in the middle and on that deadend i think they call it goathland drive thats full of people that you would find on jeremy kyle  I`ve got 4 kids I`m a single dad & always no where my kids are they definatly aren`t out terrorising the streets of the estate and yes I do live on the Badger estate it has had it`s problems just like everywhere else. It`s a good estate that should be due for regeneration soon. the houses are of non standard construction concrete not brick the end houses are bricked up on one end but don`t know when this happened . Mortgages can be a problem for these properties unfortunatly. The flat roofs can throw problems up for insurance purposes aswell.all in all it`s agood estate the end nearest badger road does see a little more action but hey it`s rough with the smooth,we keep ourselves to our selve and I`ve walked round estate at all hours. the houses are good sized and mine was built 1964 it`s got cracks in walls the floors are bit uneven but not bad for a house that wasn`t meant to last that many years!

revill67 Â Â 10 #18 Posted September 24, 2011 Try Halifax or Natwest for a morgage they lend on flat roof houses Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
jenny86 Â Â 10 #19 Posted September 24, 2011 Have gone with Santander. They will mortgage them as long as the flat roof is in good order. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
