House sale and noisy neighbours

If a house sale falls through or a potential buyer states they was put off by noisy neighbours can you claim some sort of severance off the neighbours?

I think you will be the first if you do. I personally would love for someone to make this a landmark case.0

No chance, else we'd all be doing it - and they'd all be quieter.0

Surely that would then become an official dispute and hamper your chances of selling even more.
I had a bit of an incident with a neighbour while conducting a viewing, I wish she could have been made to pay me for putting off my viewer.
Is it a regular problem with the neighbours or an isolated incident?0 -
It is a regular problem,i was getting support from the flat owner and she gave her tenants a final warning,yet when i reported the latest incident to her the tenant denied it and the owner said she would be taking no further action.Obviously more concerned about rent money than how they behave.
The owner told me that when the tenant signed up for the flat it was only her living there,then miraculously a child(the tenants) and boyfriend appeared,
so she quite clearly has a history of lying.I don't want anyone thrown out of a home but i just want to be able to live peacefully.0 -
You will have to declare any disputes in the details of your vendor pack0
-
It has not got as far as the council yet so i don't think i have to declare it,i thought it had to be declared when it was an official complaint to the relevant authorities not just owner to owner communication0
-
If it is in writing it must be declared.0
-
If they are still living there you have to declare it. Once they move out they are no longer your neighbours. So you should have got rid of them before putting your house up for sale.I'm not cynical I'm realistic

Just to say, I know how you feel David! The flat below me used to be occupied by the owner (who I regarded as a friend, as well as neighbour) but now she's living elsewhere, she only cares about getting her rent, and not how her tenants are upsetting the owners of the other three flats.
All of us (including the owner) always got along really well, it's only since the flat was tenanted there'e ever been any trouble in the house.
Out of four lots of tenants (all found by the estate agent who manages the flat,) only one lot have been good neighbours. They were very nice and considerate, but the other three lots have been horrible to live with.
Pity we can't make the gits pay up!0 -
There have been an ongoing neighbour dispute for 6 years, the neighbour turned a carport into a bedroom however this was done without planning or building regs.. because of the time limit the both planning and building regs cant do anything. I have so much noise coming from the neighbours. I have twins who were 3 months premature and i wanted to sort this out asap. The neighbours agreed to put in sound proof after knowing this was going to court and my solicitor said that because of the time scale it would be unlikely that i would win and may even lose my house. I signed an agreement for sound proof and the solicitors cancelled the court hearing.
What happened is that they have put in sound proof but the noise is still the same.. blasting music, doors banging. and this is waking my little uns up and its breaking my heart seeing them so tired but yet still cant sleep. I have my tv on subtitle if they are sleep. But all this noise is making them jump. Would this contract be void.. Please help!! K0
