Thanks so much for that info. It is just as I was thinking. I am giving the students "soft" floor cleaning mops,they are quiet anyway,and I have already put down new carpets with thick underlay to help with noise issues. I dont feel that I am obliged to do any more. It is now up to him to put in lowered ceilings with insulation if wished.The advice re " quiet living" etc is particulary useful,thanks again0

How many student live in the flat ?
Is it a HMO ?
Have the council become involved Noise !!! as they can remove all the music equipement and that includes laptops, iphones, PS3, TV,s0 -
No,only two quiet students,and no excessive noise. No loud music or parties.
The downstairs tenant admits that they make no more noise than usual,he just wants me to have all the expense and do all the work involved to improve sound insulation. lft floorboards,put in insulation,carpet everywhere etc etc.
Previous owner updated and put in some laminate flooring(kitchen bathroom hallway) which doesnt help,I know,but I am uninclined to change it just for his benefit.It is just an very badly built 1960's flat with little or no insulation in the build and before regs. came in.0 -
If the property has an EPC of G you wont be able to let it soon.
Ie no double glazing or insulation, central heating, single brick0
