Picky buyers are walking away from property deals after realising the internet connection at a property is poor, research claims.
A poll by broker First Mortgage has uncovered the main reasons why a buyer may reject a property purchase, with 80 per cent of Brits admitting they are picky.
The most popular reason for walking away among half of respondents was noisy neighbours or living in a loud area.
A quarter said they would snub a deal if floorboards creak, while 43 per cent wouldn’t be interested if they found the walls were too thin.
A third would be put off by issues such as dogs barking in the area and 22 per cent would be deterred by trees hanging into the garden.
