Our neighbours are as good as gold, I can never hear them over the sounds of our kids shouting, the dog barking, the chickens squawking or the sound of my lawnmower.. oh.... just a minute.... does that mean that we are......
I've just remembered ... in the winter our neighbour chops wood on the concrete outside his back door ... it seems quite loud in our house ... presumably as the underlying layer of solid chalk is quite near the surface under our houses ... and it does go on and on quite a bit when he's at home (he works away for periods at a time) ... but it's part of life ... his wife waters our plants for us ... swings and roundabouts

I live next door to mr and Mrs SHOUTY all their children (scream scream scream) their dogs (bark howl bark) and their complete tip of a garden. I have invested so much time and effort in my house and garden, but about 2 years ago realised I’d never enjoy it. I got the estate agents round and he said.....no chance of selling. For me the noise is the worst thing, as it affects me dawn till dusk, but the agent said it was overlooking their tip that would put everyone off. Any ideas? I’m driven insane plus 2 years now. Caravan somewhere in a field? I have considered renting it out, but it’s a big high maintenance house and a big high maintenance garden. It’s not set up well for renters at all. Feeling very stuck.
Hi, thanks for sympathy P7. They aren’t nice people and I keep a low profile. Another neighbour is on with this at the moment, but nothing has happened, it just seems to go on forever.
At our previous house I came home to find not only all of the hedging between us cut down, but ripped out from the roots with a tractor. She also did this to the neighbours on the other side of her, so all 3 gardens were completely exposed.
We put up a fence and she undermined it on her side until the posts were exposed, then we had to shore it up on our side. She was a bit funny, should have been on medication but thought everyone was just trying to poison her. She was petrified of dogs, policeman and hedging, we sold to a couple who had 3 Newfoundland’s, absolutely huge, and he was a policeman.
