Noise nuisance from the neighbour

Grenage

This is such an obvious troll.

if this is genuine rather than police or court which will get you nowhere as it is not considered a nuicance in law i think the tea, cake and compromise approach would be better

talk to your neighbour and say that while they are doing nothing wrong the noise of the basketball is causing you problems. How about as a compromise they limit the basketball to 7-8pm on a tue and fri evening and you go out for an hours walk or just suck it up for 2 nights a week

you dont want to get into a neighbour conflict and they are legally doing nothing wrong so police and court threats will probably just be laughed at and may cause matters to escalate. they have every right to play basketball on their land at what is a reasonable hour. if it were at midnight it would be different

From your previous posts you have a 2 year old. if you get into a tit for tat arrangement you may find that they start reporting you when your child has a tantrum or is playing outside. compromise is key - they have probably put up with noise from your family. I have a 3 year old and a baby and they are noisy things

A troll has been uncovered and I claim my £15 Tesco voucher!

A genuine Moneysaver would invest in ear defenders instead of hiring a solicitor!

I'd get another red card for typing honestly, so I'll put it like this:

You DO NOT have a right to 'peace'

Well, perhaps you should go and live in a different one.

Is there a restrictive covenant prohibiting ball games on private property on your estate?

A covenant can only be enforce by the developer ( or who the covenant has passed to. )

Such covenants usually ban things in the 'public' areas of the estate, but are very rarely enforced as they do not make good stories

Clearly a troll thread, either that or the OP is "one of those" who think if they buy/rent a little parcel of land on an estate they own the place and should manage it in that manner.

I sincerely doubt there would be any covenants restricting this.

Next time it causes you a migraine, go out and join in the game. Fresh air and exercise are a good way to get rid of a migraine.

Don't forget you'll likely need to raise this as a dispute if you ever sell so therefore potentially lowering the value of one of your 10 houses.

Sell them all and buy somewhere with its own land (Alaska maybe).

If this is a genuine thread, which it could be someone with some sort of mental health issue (where they fixate on what tey perceive as unreasonable), then the best thing you can do in reality is invest in a white noise machine. There are some really good ones on the market where you literally can't hear the person next to you. Even if it costs you into four figures it will still be cheaper than a declarable dispute on selling (if you own); legal costs of instructing solicitors and/or costs of moving if your landlord ends the tenancy due to your unreasonableness.
