Unless it has been officially been registered as a complaint with the authorities (council, police etc) then you don't need to disclose it.

This is going to the other extreme, and isn't correct advice. The question is not restricted to complaints which have involved third parties, it includes things which have only been discussed/shouted about directly between the neighbours.

Seems as you've good neighbours. No reason to declare.

I had noise issues with my previous scum neighbours from hell but I did not say anything to them about it, nor did I report anything to the authorities because I knew I'd have to disclose a dispute when I sold. The law prevents people from doing something about noisy neighbours who are making their lives hell.

I don't think that's the case, that's not what the form says.  

A lot of people just think that because you're a lot less likely to get caught out if the complaint/dispute wasn't 'official'.

Evidence of one argument involving two parties is likely to be regarded as hearsay if anyone later questions whether it happened.
