House for sale now our neighbour has become obsessive

If a nightmare buyer turns up sell to them, that's the best way to get back at the neighbour 

OP might have other neighbours, though. And how does one spot a nightmare neighbour? There's one living along the lane from me, but from my perspective they look 'normal.' The most innocuous looking people can transform into the spawn of the devil when safely inside their own  red boundary line (although they'll probably try to move that!)

How does one spot a nightmare neighbour?  Look for purchasers with feral children.........

And then the are evil sods who will lie and chase off all the buyers, and try and force you to become desperate and take that offer.

That is one possibility. That being that said "evil sods" are deliberately after making sure people they know buy OP's house to live in and it's not to do with price directly, but they are deliberately trying to make sure their neighbour is someone they know/approve of. It does happen. They usually seem to work by making sure a house for sale doesn't come onto the open market and go with an EA in the first place, but I expect they also figure out ways "after the event" as well.

Those are the easy ones. All those who have been a pain in the bum near me are empty nesters, either with dogs as child substitutes, or with too much time on their hands.

True that.
