    Sounds like your area might be about to experience a bit of "gentrification":) and, hopefully, that should help with resolving the problem.

    Areas going up do not want anything like that on their doorstep. Time to tap into the neighbourhood grapevine a bit to check out how that gentrification is going/who's who/what's what.

    Part of the issue is what you personally are like - eg young attractive female (whoops!), ageing man, etc, etc. Obviously young attractive females will be more concerned than many - in case of possible approaches by punters for instance.

    Im a man in my early 30s but im quite naive and innocent minded,

    So I always have a nervous smile on and seem a little stranger.

    Part of me is laughing a little thinking is that what landlord meant by "I have the perfect property for you"

    For £50 a week, I'd live next to a brothel.

    If you can't hear it through the walls, there's nothing much to worry about.

    If you cant hear it through the walls you didn't pay the premium...

    One blessing is that the punters arent at all likely to approach you personally then - wrong sex/wrong agegroup/etc to what they are looking for. That's a positive....

    I'm hoping PasturesNew (a pretty frequent poster on MSE generally) will come along onto this thread - she has stated she is autistic - but is very well able to express herself and might have some useful advice for you in this situation.

    A colleague of mine used to live in a flat above a sauna. Said it helped to keep the heating bills down.

    Taste the grouting - if it's salty run a mile.
