What a horrible situation to be in. Is your house sold stc or just on the market? If it were me I would be as a nice as possible to the neighbours. Try to calm the whole situation down and stop retaliating. Then concentrate on selling.

The problem is people might ask about the neighbours which will be awkward for you to answer without lying.

It seems you've found a willing buyer, but have now hit this diffculty by adopting a confrontational approach to the problem which was causing you to sell.

Your strategies are at odds with each other; fight and flight don't mix.

You can see where the combative approach has led, so do you think going further along that route will be productive? To me, it looks as if the danger of spending large amounts of money and time fighting the neighbours would be high; each step only reducing chances to sell.

I'd be seeking to use the council's intervention and services to initiate mediation, casting myself in a bad light if it furthered my own objectives.

You're looking for justice and retribution, but the best you're likely to achieve is a sale at a price which allows you to move physically and mentally to a better place. That's the objective, so I wouldn't put it at risk.

I am going to assume that your house is an ex local authority property based on the fact that you got a noise complaint letter from the council?

This is what I would suggest. Withdraw the house from the market and get your agent to enter it into a property auction. Ex local authority houses often sell this way. You might not get as much for it as on the open market but you will get rid of it.

If it all goes to plan you might find that the person who buys it is a landlord who lets to people who have been evicted from council and housing association properties for antisocial behaviour.........

I read it as the letter being from Environmental Health within the Local Authority letting the occupant know that they've received a complaint and are investigating and offering to mediate the dispute.

The OP should declare it, however as the dispute is around the OP playing loud music he could deal with this relatively easily in relation to enquiries as he won't be there once the property is sold so the loud music will stop. However, if the buyer raises wider queries in relation to the complain then the OP would have to give more details about the conduct of the neighbour.
