My understanding is that if police/council are involved in any way - even if complaint is not pursued - you should declare it.

Where did you get your understanding from? I quoted the questions above - there's no distinction between reporting it to a third party and not.

I'm guessing this stems back to whether it's deniable or not.  Once there's an official report, it's very hard to deny.  Before the official report, not so much.

Note: I'm not suggesting any dishonesty.  I feel these issues should be declared.

The "official" third parties shouldn't be disclosing the sources of their intelligence. I suspect it's more likely that the neighbours (or other suffering neighbours) might reveal to buyers that there had been long-running problems.

My "understanding" is that once a report is officially made, it becomes "official".  Official, and on record, as opposed to neighbourhood gossip and/or bitchiness.  Always best to be upfront and honest.

Ultimately it is what can be proved in a court of law. Official documents can be requisitioned for that purpose, so once you've lodged one you can't deny it easily.
