Would you buy a house where a suicide occured?

I need some help! I have a client who will be selling thier home. Nice house, nice area, market sensitive pricing...problem is thier partner has comitted suicide!

This is very difficult to deal with, not only are we dealing with a poor market but how do I handle the sale.

I'm looking for your opinons or advice/personal experience.

The death although sad and tragic was not violent. It was not a hanging, shooting or anything like that. In fact probably as quiet as an older person passing in thier sleep!

Would YOU buy this house? Yes/No and why? I have called the lawyers and my Broker, I need to disclose but I may be discrete and disclose just prior to an offer.

Would you pay less for this house? Would it bother you? Any great ideas on how to turn this into a positve. Obvioulsy my client is very upset with the situation and now is even more upset.

Help!

Thx

Paul
