Noise coming from upstairs

I told the management agency so surely they should inform the freeholder? they are the go between right? on saturday nights at 4am she had 12-15 people over! they arrived at 4am and left at 6am.. who does that? i texd her and told her to keep the noise down but we can hear everything and all footsteps... I now feel she is taking the ****... she didnt even reply. I also have to arrange the plumber to come to my flat and he will go to her flat and see what the water noise is...

If she has that many people round at that time of night then you're going to hear them, carpet or not. It sounds like the problem is more her inconsiderate behaviour than the flooring, and I don't think your management company or freeholder is going to be able to stop her being inconsiderate.
Did you speak to her again after Saturday night and tell her how much noise she had been making?

Guys the freeholder is Ajcon Developments Limited

Was that from your original paperwork or the land registry?


You can see who the directors were. Are any of the names familiar to you? (In particular, are they your neighbours?!)

If they are a totally independent party, I know what I would be thinking about. I would be trying to get hold of them, establish the actual holder of the freehold now (unlikely it really did stay in a dissolved company) and investigating if I could buy the freehold from them. Then I would come back to the neighbour and enforce the lease as freeholder rather than as a neighbour dispute.


PS when it comes to noise which is not normal living (like a nightime party of 14 people) then you can call the council out of hours team.


But be aware that it is something you may need to declare on selling, so don't make official complaints if you want to sell in the next couple of years without problems.

I feel your pain. Some people are just noisy, inconsiderate and down right bloody ignorant.
I'm in a semi and the tenants who moved in next door in November last year are the most ignorant pair I've ever met.
I've complained to the council and their landlord, they just can't seem to help themselves.
My only hope is they hate it and move sooner rather than later.
Good luck ajp166

Since you're in Scotland, private landlords must take responsibility for antisocial behaviour that happens in or around the properties they rent out. This means that if your neighbours (tenant) are causing trouble, their landlord should try to put a stop to it. If they don't, the council can take action to sort the situation out.

How private landlords should deal with antisocial behaviour.

I had a noisy neighbour problem years ago. Complaining to the LL got me nowhere but Glasgow City Council were brilliant and after threatening my neighbour (trainee teacher) with an ASBO the noise stopped.

she is actually a doctor and I cant believe she is behaving like this... how can 14 people arrive at 4am... its unbelievable... and since my tex there has been no word...

Haha, why is it strange that a doctor behaves like this? Maybe she works shifts? I'd say that over half the doctors I know are coke fiends and like to PARTY!

Edit: Not that it makes it acceptable for your neighbour to be antisocial. I'm just saying that doctors are no better, and possibly a little worse than the rest of us.

Just curious, but how come you have her mobile number to be able to text her?

ajp166

When I wrote a letter some time ago I put my number to call and discuss the issues....

You should still try the polite word approach. Why not ask her to take off her heels when she gets home and put on a comfy pair of slippers.
In the end you can only hint that you don't want to get into a tit for tat war with her.

I actually work in the legal sector.. My letter was so nicely worded.. I have been so polite... I am close to exploding with her now

She may not realise how noisy it sounds to you. I used to have a 1st floor maisonette. I had carpets on the floor and walked around in socks but still the guy underneath thought I was making too much noise! He used to bang a stick against the ceiling and shout at me when I had actually done nothing at all. On the other hand he didn't realise how much noise he was making in the bedroom in the middle of the night......
You could ask her to stand in your flat while you walk around her wooden floor in shoes.
