It should be fine. If the bank feels that it is safe for you to live in, then I don't see why it wouldn't be fine. I think the only concern is to make sure that each room is thoroughly cleaned, and inspected for any damages. The key thing for purchasing any home that was another type of building or used for another purpose previously is to make sure that there is no extensive damage to its infrastructure. Have someone inspect it first before you decide you want to put a down payment on it. Also, I wouldn't be too concerned about the semi-detached house. Just make sure you have the proper security measures in place.

I think it's the neighborhood you should be concern with, not the house. If moving into the neighborhood mean decreasing or getting rid of crime and drug infestation, it's a great investment for you.
