I would recomend a 'Stand Off' which attaches to top of ladder and allows
you to see into gutter without leaning back and getting off balance.

novice in London u.k. wishes to buy ladder to clean out gutters on two
story (ground and first floor) terrace house.

my neighbour also recommends to also buy a 'thingy' that allows the ladder
to rest on the actual tiles of the roof enabling me to reach into the
gutters more easily...a good idea?

would anyone recommend from which store to buy an inexpensive aluminium
ladder to do this job please?
