It makes me incredibly sad to see the amount of "better than them" bigots on this thread making sweeping judgements based on their small knowledege of what they have read in the Daily Fail. Tell you what, I'd rather live next door to a down to earth HA tennant than some of you.

Ever considered that a portion of these awful 'scum' tenants are just folk like you who paid £160k for a dream home before the recession and lost everything? There but for the Grace of God Go I. Some of you should remember that.

Once again I have to agree with you. Anyone can be a good or a bad neighbour irrespective of whether they own their home or rent. And wealth definitely has nothing to do with it!

When I moved in to my 'bought' home 15 years ago my neighbours, who were also home owners, were a seemingly respectable early 50's couple with one grown up son. Over the years it became apparent both were jobless alcoholics. The screaming, shouting, driving drunk, yelling abuse at my (then small) children went on right up until the wife dropped dead from years of alcohol abuse about 3 years ago. Husband followed suit not long after.

The home was sold for a knock down price, it was wrecked. It needed fumigating and anyone entering would be seen running for the door heaving. Fast forward 3 years and its now let, to a DSS Couple who are the nicest, most considerate, quiet, friendly neighbours you could wish for.

Generalisations I find, are rarely accurate and there are good and bad in all walks of life. Based on the theories banded around here my private neighbours should have been the salt of the earth.

I very much doubt a jobless alcoholic couple could afford to buy a house these days.

The days of boomers buying a house for 50p are long gone.

12 Months ago oh and i bought a brand new house on a loverly new development.

Building is still going on around us as they are just finishing off the last phase of the development.

We have just found out off one of the builders that the property developer has sold over half of the development to a housing assosiation.

We are devastated to think that we paid a lot of money for our beautiful home when we might aswell have moved into the local council estate and saved £160 grand.

We bought this house because of the size of the garden so our 3 dogs had plenty of space, this has been ruined as the new tennants next door have a shitz hu that is left out all day and constantly barks if my dogs are out, these neighbours have only been in a month and already they have a washing machine in the back garden.

We love this house and dont want to have to move is there anything we can do??:mad::mad::mad:

Sorry to hear that you have been mislead by the developers!
But i don't think all housing associations are bad for areas, i was hoping to buy one last year where you could opt in or out of a sort of ground rent payment where they would get people in to keep the public areas tidy/clean.
Unfortunately it all fell through and i bought an ex-council house which is all i could afford on my own. I am very happy here and the neighbours are lovely.

I think personally you should get out to see your neighbours and talk to them about your problems. Then if they aren't very co-operative then go elsewhere to HA/council/police or even ask Citzens advice for some advice on the issue??
How has the next door ruined your garden?? Okay it probably isn't as peaceful but to tell the truth i would kill to have a spacious garden!

Sorry don't mean to come across in a bad way but seems you are very lucky to have a new house with spacious garden that obviously cost you a lot.

Hope you get things sorted and you feel better in your new home

Strangely, I don't think they were jobless, or alcoholics when they bought the house back in the 70's...

Being an owner occupier does not you a better person.
Being a social housing tenant does not make you a bad person.

There are good and bad in both.

Also, how do you define class? Is it by birth, upbringing, class of owning, values...what?

Only ask as I have very middle class values, was born into a middle class family, my children have been raised with the same values but we live in social housing (but haven't always, we were burnt very badly by the housing market in the 90's recession).
