SPIF form and husband being unaware about a dispute with neighbors

Slithery

Personally I think that you shouldn't have a problem with not disclosing it but also that you massively overreacted.

You reported your neighbours for a funny smell and the fact that you could hear them only when you went into the bathroom and opened the window?

That's not a party...

[QUOTE=Ets92;76111692]But reasonable level of noise can be interpreted in different ways. What if my window was open at night and I could hear their music and smell their cannabis? To me listening to music after 10 pm in the garden is not acceptable regardless if my window is open or not. Maybe to some people like my husband it is not a big deal.
Once I complained the council called me and said they will speak to them while the local police ignored my email. But I don’t even know if anyone even spoke to them because nobody got back to me.
I just hope that the new buyer is not as sensitive as me and it doesn’t come to bite me in the future...[/QUOTE]




So you sleep in the bathroom :rotfl:
You couldn't hear it from the bedroom, you stated that earlier, so unless you are sleeping in the bathroom how would you hear it all night.

More holes than a Swiss cheese.

Thank you for the reply. My neighbours were also chavs and I could not get used to it. Anytime they screamed or made some annoying noise which was mainly during the day I basically had an anxiety attack.

And I’m sorry about your neighbours. I guess in this situation nothing can be done by the council? When I reported them I had an impression that they can be evicted if they are a nuisance since they live in a council house but I guess that is almost impossible even if you complain numerous times...

It took only two and a half years but, eventually, the unspeakable waste of space was evicted. Her landlord redefined useless as well as clueless; I had to teach him the basics such as what a section 21 is from knowledge I gained on here. That is how useless he was. There are no words.

Seriously, eyes on the prize; just focus on the future and, maybe, keep the windows closed and buy some fans; they make a heck of a noise (to me) so can help to drown out the chavs as well as provide ventilation.

How is he deaf if it was impossible to hear anything inside the house? And yeah, I perceive neighbours staying outside after 10pm, smoking cannabis and listening to music on their phone as a problem worth complaining about. Everywhere else where I have previously lived it was absolutely quiet at night and even in this location everyone including my next door neighbours were always very quiet apart from those chavs.

My husband doesn’t even perceive cannabis as a problem btw. We have different views on issues like that, therefore, I was annoyed by the neighbours and complained without him knowing since according to him, it isn’t a good idea to complain about neighbours. He preferred having a good relationship with those individuals while I didn’t care.

And why would he tell me about the form if he was the one who bought and sold the house? I had no business filling in the form since I am not the owner. I found out about the form because I read a post about nightmare neighbours and having to declare disputes. I asked him if he had to fill in the form and became worried when I found out that he did...

He goes to sleep at 10pm, I go to sleep at 5 am. I was having a shower and opened the window to get rid of condensation to see those people having a party and doing drugs. What is so hard to believe. Why should I wake up my husband and inform him about issues he doesn’t care about?

I really think you need to chill; unless you work shifts, going to bed at 5 a.m. is avoidable. As you said, it is not your house so you cannot be held responsible for whatever issues the buyers may or may not encounter.

I know how your life can become controlled by the noise pollution of chavs, believe me. It sounds as if you have the chance to escape; I don't. Be glad.

Is it even a dispute though? What if the neighbour was given a warning by the police but didn't argue about it and just accepted it?

I'd certainly tell my partner that I'd contacted the police, can't think why anyone wouldn't. Could lead to all sorts of problems as indeed it may have.

He always told me not start any problems with those chavs... Maybe he knew better. We disagreed on this issue.

But I have my own mind and decided to report anyway. I didn’t have any patience and hoped that reporting them will change something... of course it didn’t. It was pointless. As I’ve mentioned before, I guess they weren’t that loud or bad according to other people’s standards but even hearing their voice when I was outside was unbearable to me. So hearing that party outside when I opened the window was a breaking point to me and I just had to do something.

As I and other posters have said, I think your sense of proportion is a little skewed. I would absolutely adore to buy some glorious old farm house/picturesque cottage surrounded by a whole load of farm land or acres of grounds in a cute, ultra-civilised village or, maybe, Downton Abbey.

Assuming none of the above are an option, adjust either your thinking or your situation... Or carry on as you are. I really don't think you have a clue just how unbearable problem neighbours can be and am beginning to wonder if this thread is a wind-up; it is that time of year, after all.
