I made big mistake buying my house

Maybe you can get some £ back from sellers if there is a record of issues that hasn't been reported during the sale?

Hi,

i bought my house 2 months back and I have regretted it since. I bought on 5th March and my cat was traumatised so much we had to put her down on 8th March. On 20th March my next door neighbours who are tenants played very loud bass amplified music till 1:30am, we ignored it hoping it was one off party.
On 26th March more loud music from 11.00 to 12:00 pm. 
On 1st April again loud music from 11.00 to 12:00 pm, then 4 to 6:30 pm my wife told them to keep the volume down. Then 9:00pm to 10:00 pm my wife went told them to keep it down.
Last Saturday they again had loud music and another lady confronted them and bottle was thrown in her direction and police were called and statement were taken but no action.
The landlord has 9 houses and lives in a nice detached house few miles away from here. I haven’t contacted him yet has I doubt he will do anything.
Similar episodes for weeks now, I have informed the environmental dept of Reading council through noise app but not much help.
My wife and daughter are so upset we bought this place. What are our options? 
Any advise grateful accepted.

You lost any sympathy from me right there 

The vet advised us to put my cat down, we were heart broken.

Absolutely no chance a vet told you to kill a cat because you'd moved. 

My cat was on medication due to fast beating heart and on the moving day she was stressed but she usually get back to normal few days later but this time she was in lot of pain.

So the cat was actually put down due to a heart problem.

The thing is though, to relieve your stress you have to put things in the right boxes in your head.  Your cat, presumably had a good life until it was old and unfortunately became ill.  You didn't put it down because of moving, but because it was ill.  Avoid associating the things together, its bad enough that the cat had to be but down.  I had a 14 year old cat, we kept him going as long as we could (kidney failure) but in the end putting him to sleep was the kindest thing, the medications weren't working any longer.  It hurt terribly, the cat had been with me through quite some times but it had to be done.  Put that particular thing in the right box, its not about the house its about the cat's age and health.  And she/he had a good life until that point.

It will be far better if, rather than getting anxst about what is going on in the house you concentrate on planning how to get out.  Focus your energies and thoughts on positive things.  I'd strongly advise against buy to let.  Just more anxiety you don't need.  four months isnt' so long.  Wait two months and you can start listing it for sale.  It won't sell before 6 months is up.  And then you'll be moving.

You can't do anything about the disturbance it seems.., you can choose to do something about how constructive your thought processes are.

Great advice! I'm sorry to read about your poor cat and the fact that putting your cat down started the time in your new house on a sour note. However, the focus now is resolving your difficulties and essentially, you have two options: stay or move. You can contact the LL and take other measures that may help or may not, but I think ultimately, you need to get out of there. With the notion in mind that you will likely move after 6 months, it will surely make the next 4 months more tolerable as it's a light at the end of the tunnel.

Has this seriously turn into a prove your cat existed thread🤔

Yes that’s great advice. The thing is it seems I’m constantly moving for the last two years, I rented for 6 months in a small 2 bed flat within a hmo. Then rented nice 3 bed house then bought 2 bed house but on a main road so sold 2 months back to buy this 3 bed house with rear dormer loft space and garage behind the garden. The house was on offer in excess of 300k, I offered 305k and was accepted quickly. I thought it was bargain but not sure now with hmo next door maybe I overpaid.

Yes thanks again to some great advice. To be honest my mind is all confused and not thinking clearly. I might go and knock on LL and tell him to have word with his tenants. I have kept noise diary and also contacted environmental support through noise app but they seem reluctant to act despite evidence. I have legal insurance within my house insurance maybe they can help.

As mentioned try to sell to a BTL landlord, might require a good price drop to do so though? One benefit of renting is that as soon as the bottles start flying you can pack up and move quite easily.

More chance in winning the lottery. If the seller didn't have any disputes with the neighbours then there is no issues. OP didnt fully check the area by the sounds of it and going by his other post about this subject the neighbours are really nice they just like to play music at night. The only option is to make formal complaints which will affect any future sale or wait it out for a while to see if they leave or sell up.
