Is there a way to find out neighbours landlord?

ikkle87

Hi guys,

Just wondered if there was any way to find out who is our next door neighbours landlord? We have lived here for just over 6 months and about 3 weeks ago the original neighbours moved out and new people moved in. Since then we have had nothing but problems. They are excessively noisy; having parties almost every night until 3-4am at the earliest, banging on the walls etc. They are dumping rubbish and clutter outside our garden and gate and generally being anti-social.

We have tried to talk to them and ask them to keep the noise down a little, and also apologise if they hear the baby crying at all but they refuse to answer the door to us. We have reported them to the council for noise disturbance and the police have also paid a visit but nothing seems to be working. Unfortunately we are tied into our tenancy and with a two week old baby moving isn't possible so as a last resort I was thinking maybe if the landlord knows what kind of tenants he has let move into the property - they've trashed the yard so lord only knows what the house is like, he will do something about it.

I don't know.

Just looking for help really x

Spend £4 with landregistry & look up who owns the place...

If owner hasn't kept records up-2-date it may be incorrect....

Try the Land Registry. Their records will show who owns the place.

Not much point though, as the LL are likely not going to do anything at all.

For what purpose? The landlord can only evict through the courts if the tenant is not in the fixed term (minimum six months) OR very specific MAJOR breaches of the tenancy agreement. And that is if they want to.

Noise is an issue for Environmental Health at the local council, you need to report every incident and keep a noise diary, not give up after a couple of weeks and say nothing is working. Ask other neighbours to do the same, the more individual complaints the better. EH have the powers to get a noise abatement notice from the courts, and some EH departments have an out of hours team so check whether you should be calling them or the police.

Rubbish and fly tipping is also an EH issue; if there are multiple issues also contact the antisocial behaviour team at the council. WAX ear plus are amazing for the short term.

Small point, and one you will discover soon enough if you choose to look up the address online, but the fee now for such a search is £3 after a recent reduction in price.

Amazing to have a price DROP.

Does anyone remember a letting sign or advert for the property to rent,we found out by a resident remembering the agency advertising the property and contacted them,i left my details with them for the landlord to contact me and they did,it went downhill after that but we found them.

The jocks have a great system for tracking LL > https://www.landlordregistrationscotland.gov.uk/Pages/Process.aspx?Command=ShowHomePage&Reset=true&SessionToken=a0ef25f1-acd0-4119-8bf6-f3ee06f421bf

Our wonderful coalision government scrapped the scheme to introduce it in england > http://blogs.findlaw.co.uk/solicitor/2010/06/landlord-register-and-private-rented-sector-regulations-scrapped.html

1) as suggested, Land Registry(£3). It will show name and address of owner, but address may be the property in question or the LL's actual address
2) If you just get the address next door from the LR, try writing to the LL by name at next door's address. But be aware the tenants might open the letter so be VERY cautious/vague about why you are writing......
3) Letting agents notice board when they moved in?
4) long shot: ring round ALL the local letting agents....?

There was no letting board, our previous neighbours moved out and the same day the new ones moved in. There was no interim period. The same night the noise started.

We have been keeping a note of the noise although its a bit inaccurate as I was in hospital so there's no records for those periods. I've rang EH after googling the number for our local team and on the instance we couldn't get through I rang 101 and the police came out. I've no problems with them having music and people round I just think a bit of consideration would be nice such as turning it down at midnight and not shouting/banging/whooping etc after that time, however its till 5am most nights and to a volume where I can hear the music word perfect and because they have the music so loud they have to shout over it.

There are no other neighbours to complain about it, they are the end property, then us.

The ear plugs would be a good suggestion but not feasible unfortunately.

I'm not sure what I want to happen, or what I hope to gain, I guess I'm more aware now the baby is here how important sleep is so feel a little grumpy it's being disturbed by the neighbours.

Thanks for all your help though
