By (user no longer on site) OP     over a year ago

Opinions please.

So we live in a mainly private Street. The only two house in street that's rented is the one next to us.

Theirs is end of terrace so we are the only ones affected by the noise.

The house has been converted into two maisonettes so upstairs front room is next to our bedroom.

We have put up with them for 13 years, shouting their head's off till the early hours almost daily.

I have complained to them and directly to landlord but not to beat around the bush they are scum.

(jump off your high horse if you find that offensive and read another thread)

What I mean is not a one of them has done a day's work the entire time they have lived next to us, they sleep in until gone lunchtime daily and the conversations basically go like this (i hear every word)

Fuck you, you fucking cunt...

No fuck you mum you fucking slag.

I kid you not.

Son has been in and out of jail for drug dealing.

They literally spend every single night of the week from about 9pm till 2/4 am arguing and swearing.

I have spoken to the council who agree they are a nuisance.

But I have yet to make it official.

Here's the dilemma.

I am concerned that they are the type of people who will turn nasty, our house is empty for large parts of the day and when not daughter is home alone.

And I worry about damage to our car.

They have all sorts of right dodgy people coming and going day and night.

But it's been over a decade now and it's making me ill, sleepless nights, nights on sofa have to wear ear plug's every night.

I really don't want to start a neighbourly dispute and potentially worse.

The worse things is they are all mid 50,s and should know better.

I will accept noise up until 10:30/11. After that is a piss take.

Don't take scum comments to Heart, trust me they are proper Jeremy kyle types.

All our square is owned and we had one corner house that was rented. Same issues and the house between us and them is a blond disbled gentlemen.

In the end we reported the drug growing shall we say through the polices anonymous site. Got all the naighbours to do it aswell. Just before the police raided some other lowlives came along and chased them away for nicking their drugs. Its been quiet since

Have you complained to the Environmental Health Department to have noise monitoring equipment installed ? Kept a diary of dates and times of the nuisance ?

If they call their own mother a "Slag" then they won't have an ounce of respect for you or your opinions so approach with extreme caution is all I can say.

The best thing to do is try to record the noises they make from inside your home, try and include evidence of the time and date, build up a log of all these incidents for at least a month, then report them to the relevant authorities presenting your recorded evidence and log, only then will something be done and providing you have the evidence an eviction warning will be presented to them. Also speak to your neighbours and if possible ask them to do the same

This.

I think you have to keep a log of it for so many months before anyone will even look into it. If you haven't already done this, then start doing it because they will send you away to do this.

Yes this, I used to live next door to a rented property and we had a nightmare with some of the tenants. Keep a record of what and when, it is useful in building a case against someone.

no idea!! bloody satnav!!

I agree with the above! Kept a noise diary, complain to noise pollution and follow it through!

I did and it did take a good few months of her not listening to the warnings, but eventually with enough evidence she was taken to court and given an asbo, so any further noise could be reported straight to the police and she would then face jail! Thankfully she finally got the message!

I'd have done that after the first month of noise, let alone putting up with it for 10 years!!

I had a noisy neighbour once. Her aunt lived nearby but she wouldn't let her live with her. In the end she got evicted as she was too noisy for living in a block of flats. You have as much right to stress-free living as everyone else.

Don't know how you've put up with them for years, I'd give you a gold medal just for putting up with that for the years you have.

Personally if I lived next to them, I'd have rather moved if no-one (council/police) canny even seem to do much (cause no "official complaint" been made)

Maybe cause if more actually complain then something will get done.

Feel for you OP, I lived next door to similar sounding neighbours for 2 years, in the end the opportunity presented itself and we moved.

I did start going down the path of noise abatement with the council, so kept a diary & an environment officer came to the house to survey the situation.

The problem I had is my other neighbours preferred to put up with the noise than do something about it, which didn't help my case. Hence the move.

Good luck & I hope you sort something out.

Yes definitely this,you have my upmost sympathies. I had to report my neighbours to Environmental Health about their dog who barks consistently when they go out until they return,the neighbours stuck a note through my door saying I should live and let live. I felt like ramming that note up their arses. We now live in total ignorance to each other. The other side communicate by screaming and swearing at each other,not great when your own children are listening to it. I know how shitty neighbours can affect your own health and mine is minor to yours.

I'm going to go the other way and say is moving an option?

It can cause huge ructions complaining and as you've said they're dodgy and the fact you've waited so long to complain may go against you with authorities maybe?

Save yourself the stress maybe by finding a new place? X

This is a subject close to my heart as we were a family who was hounded out of our family home by a neighbour claiming we were the noisy neighbors.

It became a living nightmare we got to a point where we were afraid to cough without the fear of our neighbours banging on the wall to "shut the fuck up you cunt"

After we got in touch with mediators which they refused to speak to, they managed to take us to court all funded by legal aid (neither worked but owned their house) we got to see their noise diary, to say it was laughable was an understatement I received all the blame for any noise in our area including a car stereo playing loud music approximately 600 yards away (I couldn't drive then). Eventually my parents took the option of selling up and moving house.

The joke of it was for years we endured drilling and hammering from 7 in morning on Sunday's and bank holidays as well as screaming arguments, but we just let all that slide then the fuckers done it to us.

Yeah sometimes you just have to play them at their own shit,doesn't solve matters,but makes you feel better and gets some frustration out. After listening to the dog next door which isn't as often now I make sure they have a few hours of my rather loud music to listen to,not Des O'connor though they'd probably like that

Right, this isn't going to be the mist popular post, and I totally expect to get slated for it, but hey ho, tests life.

I lived three doors away from the family from hell, the dad would come back from the pub pissed up every night, the mom had no volume control, and the kids always had someone coming after them both, for nicking their car, or husband, I shit you not, I caught the son breaking into.my shed, so I man handled him out if my garden, while he's telling me he's going to have me, and he was going to a solicitor, blah blah blah

After that I had my car egged, a dick spray painted on the garden wall, and all sorts of indirect shit.

So my solution to the problem, I waited in the alley way for the dad to come back from the pub, and told him if him it his kids bother me in any way, or his wifey gob, annoyed me again, or if any if them, it any if their mates looked at my house funny, that I was going to hold him responsible, and cut his balls off.

Shock horror, I threatened someone with physical violence, I'm a bad person, yeah maybe, but I'm a bad person who had two years of un interrupted sleep, some times being nice is a waste of time

Get a camera on them. They cost fuck all on ebay and an SD card to put in them.

Upload their shit to youtube, make copies of their anti-social behaviour and forward to their landlord and the police.

It's not illegal to video your own property, you don't have to have signs up either, but if you're thinking of prosecuting you have to have signs up.

I'm just exposing my prick door neighbours for who they are atm, and they're intruding onto my property at times so it's easy enough to do and legal. Their noise also intrudes onto my property so that's legal to record that as well.

1. Buy cctv to cover your entire property

2. Buy a big fucking stereo system with large sub woofers

3. Buy a timer plug

4. Buy a drum and bass compilation cd

5. Set timer for random intervals from the time you go to work until you come home, press loop play, turn up to 11 and put the speakers against the wall- go to work knowing anything they do is on camera and they're getting no sleep either

South East Midlands NOT

The problem with moving is that you legally have to record any 'trouble' you've had with your neighbours. Makes it harder to sell the property. Anyway you shouldn't feel forced out of your own home.

Have been really unlucky with neighbours since well forever.

I think my biggest concerns are.

1:one day I am going to lose it and go round there and go off the head.

2: if I go down the official route of reporting it, I will have to disclose it should we ever sell the house.

i actually dreamed that i slit my neighbours throat, it felt good too. 5 years of shit will do that to you.

i do think if you're a 'nice' person and patient then some people will take the piss.

and you can't really expect official authorities to do much except send asking letters to your neighbours until you give them actual evidence to see how bad your neighbours are.

Our neighbours downstairs are broadly similar..shouting and screaming and dealing from the property and we hate them..

I have a plan now.

We're moving in may..not because of them but it helps and on moving day I have a few things to do.

1. I'm rigging my plumbing to flood them before locking the door and snapping the key off in the lock

2. Am leaving a cheap corded drill on a plug timer to come on all through the night. No drill bit in it but something like a saucepan so it makes a massive racket.

3. Making and printing a few hundred business flyers for his dealing operation...including his phone number address and name. then distributing them them them throughout the flats and under windscreen wipers locally

4. Putting his number up on every contact site I can think of under the guise of a woman looking for phone sex

5. Tbc

Should be a fun night and morning for them

Just feel the need to say it isn't just rented properties that cause these issues. I'm a tenant, and a very good one!!!

I lived in a rented house and the 'owned' house next door caused me all kinds of problems!!

Middle class single father with fucking annoying teenage kids and dog.

Don't put every tenant in the same category, it's offensive as there are more good, law abiding tenants than bad ones. People who own their homes can be equally as bad!!!
