Do we tell our replacement tenants about the neighbour?

To provide some context
Me and my partner moved into our rental flat 6 months ago. Since day one, we were disturbed by the neighbour above. He would have his tv blaring all day (doesn’t go out) and also shout randomly and play loud metal music and bass music. He has the same landlord as us and we tried to complain about him early on. The landlord spoke to him but he continued to be a nuisance. He’s been there 20 plus years so believes he is untouchable and tried to gaslight us into thinking we are not communal living and should expect loud noise.
We were very lucky that the landlord accepted our request to leave our tenancy early and we were only charged £100 reletting fees. They found replacement tenants very easy as the flat is nice and the rental market is extremely busy.
It’s not my problem but I really feel for the next tenants moving in. They will undoubtably have the same issues as us and will be tied into a long tenancy. Is it worth leaving them a warning note or just to leave things?

Will be too late by the time they move in. They will already have signed the tenancy

Mr.Generous

The landlord is bound to tell them.

Don’t think they will - it was through a letting agent and he’s lived there for years and seemed to have got away with it

I appreciate you are decent person and feel bad about this, but it's really not your concern. Just focus on being glad you have found somewhere else and are getting away from him.

It's a nice idea from you but they'll soon find out for themselves when they move in.

The LL has agreed to allow you to move on early and only charged you £100 penalty.
That was on the basis that the flat was re-let easily.
If you do something to undermine the re-letting you may become liable for the remaining period of the original tenancy agreement - another 6 months rent if the agreement was 12 months.
Did anyone tell you before you moved in?

Everybody reacts differently to noise.  The new Tenants might or might not have a problem with it.  They may themselves be into loud music and TV.  It is not your problem.  Nor was it ever the Landlord's problem.  The Council are the ones with enforcement powers to deal with such issues if necessary.

Do nothing. Stay out of it. There are no possible advantages for you.

No they are not. If you are selling a property, you have to declare any neighbour disputes. There is no requirement for an LL to declare such a dispute to prospective tenants.

The LL would only have a problem if rent wasn't coming in regularly. Somehow the tenant upstairs kept this flowing, but that may not be the case in future times. However if the tenant has been there since prior to 1997 he may well be difficult to budge.
