I just this second laid eyes on her as I got home from college, she is quite frankly a chav, dripping in argos bling. Her music is now cranked on full whack, last night I got a 20minute screaming match to listen too, her on the phone to her BF - swearing screaming stamping her feet (yes really) to listen too. The housing man went to her door - she told him the music isn't hers....uhm of course not *eyes fall out face*

Ill send my friend to her door pretending to be the provident, that'll scare her :rotfl:

Oh my gosh, not good. Have you got a video on your phone and make a video of the noise especially when its late at night/early morning. If its on vid surely they would have to do something?

Here's another horror story. When I first moved into my flat at the age of 23 I met the downstairs neighbour, an ashen nicotene stained lady of around 50ish, her and her husband lived underneath me. Even when I was there painting, I could hear her going into a rage, not realising she was giving out about me! I didn't even know her! That was the start of it but I didn't know that then. As soon as I moved in, she was constantly banging up on my floor with a brush or some kind of tool, for no reason other than myself and my 2 year old daughter were walking across the floor. This went on for months, eventually resulting in me going to docs for stress! After about 3 years of this I decided enough was enough and I wasn't going to be a victim so next time she got her broom out, I got my daughter and the two of us jumped as high as we could continuously in order to ensure she got full capacity - this went on for a few weeks until she eventually realised the game was over and she wasn't winning anymore, peace was restored and in fact, I found out she had an alcohol problem and was constantly sloshed (obv not a good drunk). Funnily enough about a year after all this, she had given up the alcohol and went out of her way to be nice to me - it was too late ofcourse, I couldn't forget what she had put me through, shortly after I sold my flat and moved on but that was one horrific time.

Crumbs. Sounds like i have it easy.

I have 2 flats above me and one to the side. All single old boys, one has the tele quite loud sometimes, but nothing that can't be ignored.

The other had is son (in his 40's) staying for a few months who smoked. He would go out every 20mins (from 7pm til about 1am) onto his balcony for a smoke. Thing was that the sliding patio door had seen better days so it sounded like he was dragging a wardrobe over my bedroom ceiling. I would just go to sleep listening to my ipod or something, it wasn't something i felt i could complain about. "i demand you buy new patio doors!"

Ah well, he moved out and its now blissful.

I've always understood that it has to be a formal 'dispute' that you have to declare. I can't see you would have to declare any little argument between neighbours but if you were to make a report to the council for example then that would need to be declared. .

It depends what you complain about.

Where I live, if you complain about dog noise, the council is bound to keep your identity secret.

If this confidentiality is properly maintained, you should have no reason to declare it in the Questions Before Contract. How would anyone prove you'd complained?

I'm sure there must be other examples.

The only good neighbours are those decomposing on the living room floor.

Not if you live directly beneath them!

i live in an upstairs maisonette, i dont really have much to do with my downstairs neighbours but up here on the 'balcony' i have some lovely neighbours apart from my next door.

miserable old cow who looks at you like she's trod in !!!!. Had a boyfriend for a few year and they would argue constantly late into the night, he seems to have dissappeared visiting family in ireland and not come back although he left his dog (that NEVER leaves the house) thats barks everytime she goes out on a fri/sat night.

Apart from that everyone is lovely, our kids play out together on the balcony in the summer and we help each other out.

better than living above heroin addicts like i did before
