    The "dispute" question is really looking for complaints made to the police or council.
    It isn't really. The questions even cover things which you know are likely to lead to a dispute.

    The OP is being a bit vague, so it really depends how this "eccentricity" manifests itself...

    It is hard to say talks to herself sitting outside her house, tries to chat to anyone that walks past whether interested or not or checks your bins when you put them out in the street opening and closing the lids which I have seen her through the window I mean just things like that 😳some weeks you don’t see her for days and others she is there front door every day 😳

    Sounds lonely, a couple of minutes is hard for people too spare these day's.
  • Ah not me then but I look forward to being a possible neighbour dispute in the future if that’s all it takes 🤭

    A few people round where I’m staying right now (West Country) would really appreciate a neighbour like that!

    But there’s absolutely 100% nothing you need to declare, at least based on everything you have told us.

    Sorry to hijack thread.  We have an alcoholic neighbour (in flats).  He isn't a great deal of nuisance but he has occasionally rung our bell for us to let us in the flats and on a couple of occasions the fire brigade (smoke alarm) and police have been round to his.  We have never had cause to complain to him or about him, but he is generally disliked by others in the block and seen as a nuisance.  I think the police were called one time when he had an altercation with somebody else in the block (we didn't witness this as we were away, but heard from other neighbours).

    Would I need to declare anything relating to this when selling - again I have had no reason to complain to him and there is no formal dispute between he and I at any point.

    Whether it's a formal complaint or not doesn't make a difference. The exact wording on the TA6 is...
    Have there been any disputes or complaints regarding this property or a property nearby?
    Is the seller aware of anything which might lead to a dispute about the property or a property nearby?

    ...and if other neighbours see him as a nuisance (even if you don't) that tends to suggest his behaviour may objectively be "a thing which might lead to a dispute".

    But isn't that in direct contradiction to the advice given to the OP.  Isn't their neighbours behavious something that might lead to a dispute.  My neighbour certainly hasn't been through our bins, whereas the OP's has.   Confused.com

    I think there's a difference between causing neighbours a nuisance through antisocial behaviour in your property, and merely being the neighbourhood oddball - and having fights/causing fire alarms to go off etc is more of an issue than someone peeking in your wheelie bin. But these things aren't black and white, as we can see.
