    Bloomin' chavs!!!

    Constant stream of people in/out, doors slamming, running up/down the stairs. Shouting, hollering out of the windows. Chanting like a footy group. Loud music on.

    Coming/going/shouting, non stop... been like that for 35 minutes. All day people have been coming/going, I thought it was usual moving in noises/showing your mates and would stop.... but now it seems like the local chav has his own gaff.... so it's PARTY TIME!!!!

    I have no social skills..... just needs for them to really fr1ck me off and I'll go up there and give them the full benefit of my discontent.

    Outnumbered about 10:1 though, so biting my lip... for now.

    Maybe they'll all die of something and quieten down.

    *living in hope*


    That sounds just like my house this evening, and my reaction :o .
    Teenagers:rolleyes: .
    The only thing is that they genuinely don't realise they're being loud - if a neighbour said anything, they'd be mortified. Maybe your neighbour is the same?
    I'm an adult and I can eat whatever I want whenever I want and I wish someone would take this power from me.

    I really sympathise, I had this problem in my old house. They didn't work and would have parties at all hours and I did work and had to get up at 5am sometimes... in the end it was me that moved out...

    If you know their landlord then definately put in a complaint but I wouldn't put your name to it, you don't want them coming round and picking a fight with you.

    Hope you get it sorted, there is nothing more frustrating that not being able to relax in your own home :(

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Not really anybody else about, quiet neighbour just came in, so not the only one in the building now... but there's nobody that lives here that would say/do anything even if they were here.

    I can't turn the telly on loud because of my hearing issues. It's super-sensitive to certain ranges ... and unexpected noises.

    :) scratch

    Yeah, I just want somewhere to moan and feel heard. That's all. Just don't want to feel completely alone.

    If this becomes a feature ... I will contact the landlord, who only lives 150 yards away. But not tonight, not for a one off... so far.


    Oh Pastures :( I'm sorry, how horrid.

    If you can't 'do' tv can you 'do' music/cd? Thinking a cd you might know whats coming, so not a surprise? :(

    I'll give it the weekend, as an "exceptional time", after that I'll start taking notes and whining officially. I can work out who the landlord is by guessing the agent and phoning around....

    And I'll phone mine at a reasonable hour when I think "we're in for a treat of a night", so he/his wife can sit here and watch Corrie with me to hear it for themselves.

    You can get the name and address of their landlord by logging on to the land registry website and putting in their address. The cost is about £2-£3 so not a huge amount to spend.

    I could, but my preferred route of madness is to turn up at the agents' office like a loony and behave oddly and doing a sit in while they contact the landlord and put in writing what they're going to do about it :)

    I've already done that with the previous tenants the agents moved in. As soon as the noisey neighbours moved out, the agents moved another bunch in just as bad. Hope it works much better for you!

    I'd t hought about moving anyway, upstairs was a problem until this current one, but I notice it's up for rent again now, so my quiet (never there) upstairs neighbour, who worked out where the noisy parts of the floor were and was careful/arranged her furniture over them .... appears to be leaving.

    You need to record it and go to enviromental health...They will send an officer around to witness the noise for him self and then send an enforcement letter to the landlord and to the residents.
    I have the same problem and am working through it.......It is slow and very stressfull. Try to stay anonamus and talk to the other nieghbours as a group compliant goes alot further. I have a small £35 camera I use to record the people unstairs. Keep a log of the noise and the incidents.
    Good Luck

    6 are rented here, one of the OOs is deaf, one of the OOs is up for sale.
    Of the 6 rented, ignoring them and me that's 4.
    One's leaving this week.
    One's used as a temporary hospitality type flat for some media types when they're working on a local TV programme (once a week for a meal/sleepover)
    One's new/just moved in/hardly ever there (probably got a bf she stays with a lot)
    One is potentially empty, or a new person last week... difficult to say without stalking them and I'm not up for that.
