SPIF form and husband being unaware about a dispute with neighbors

I agree with you that I may be oversensitive. And that the only option to is to either change my thinking or move on which I did. However, the post is about the complaint I made against my neighbours and whether it can affect my husband in the future if the home buyer is as sensitive as I am.
I don’t know who bought the house. Maybe it is someone like me and they cannot handle chavs playing music or smoking cannabis in their garden even if it is not during late night hours or you cannot hear them with windows closed.0 -

I don’t know if complaining constitutes a dispute? Even if they disagreed with the council I wasn’t informed.0 -
To be blunt..........
Based on what you've said, you're making a deal out of nothing. The combination of events to occur for there to be an issue with your husband not declaring a dispute with your neighbours is virtually zero. It's so slim it wouldn't even cross most people's minds.
Instead of enjoying your new home and the fact you'll never have to encounter the neighbours which caused you such grief again..........you're still thinking about them and complaining about them to complete strangers. They're still in your head and you need to let go. You don't need to feel guilty about the new owners experiencing those neighbours because as the responses here have made clear.........they won't disturb most people. In fact a very brief search about neighbour disputes on this forum will tell you how many people would love to have neighbours like that over their current predicament.0 -

You should have mentioned the cannabis on the SPLIFF form.
The seller (my husband) didn’t see cannabis as a problem, so he didn’t mention.
I found this issue as well as the noise as problems and if it was my house I would have mentioned them but because it wasn’t I didn’t have the chance to fill in the form.0 -

I'd agree chances of anything happening are extremely slim. However if the stars did align then in theory there could be a problem.
The vendor would take your husband to court over non disclosure. Your husband would argue that he didn't know as you didn't tell him, and at that point it would be up to the judge whether to believe him.
I'd have to say in the judges shoes I'd find it extremely unlikely that you would report the neighbors to the police and council and then not tell your husband.
Don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying you are lying, it's just on the balance of probabilities it's far more likely that you did tell him and he didn't declare.0
