    "Bad neighbours" is the risk that everyone faces when buying a property attached to others. Even with a detached property neighbours can be an issue.

    Sorry you've ended up with bad neighbours. No-one had the responsibility to tell you it was socially rented property, though, and that's not a good predictor of who will be good/bad neighbours anyway. I've got a mix of tenure types around me - don't know for sure which are council lets, and which aren't - but never had any issues with neighbours. I did visit the area at different times before buying, though, and it's often a good idea to do that and/or chat to the neighbours if possible.

    Perhaps something in the Stanton area. Main neighbour would be the MOD, and you might not want to be too close when they do "live fire" training or fly in the Apache helicopters.
    Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –
