It might have been better to start a new thread.
Some councils have registers of noise complaints. However, typically by partial postcode and this one from Leeds Council only goes up to 2019. https://www.data.gov.uk/dataset/d573af21-8789-4124-bd33-c41b14bef719/noise-nuisance-daytime It might be worth asking your local council what they do. With partial postcodes you can't prove a complaint at a specific address, but it might be able to show you that there have been no complaints.
The police database can't be used to find noise complaints, but instances of anti-social behaviour may show up. It's possible to zoom in quite a way to see where crimes have occurred/been reported. It might be useful looking at that to see if it indicates anti-social behaviour in the location of the neighbour's house. https://www.police.uk/pu/your-area/?search=1
Neither of these will give you hard evidence that you can use to build a solid case against the previous owners. But, in your situation, I would have a look at these to see what data they have.WIAWSNB said:It could be a general Q about a general noise situation, and not in reference to this actual case.
Anyone know the answer?
(As for the OP - I wonder how they got on?)
Hasn't posted since August 2023. EDIT: They 'just completed' on a house in 2023, some years after this thread. https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/80184935#Comment_80184935
EDIT2: They complained about the noisy neighbours, and eventually they were moved out. https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/79626494#Comment_796264944 -
