any way to shield from loud neighbours with outside tv in open hut?

faerielight

I know.. iI don't even have a tv.. i wouldn't dream of inflicting tv  and speakers outside on my neighbours. . I think because i have such bad fatigue and brain fog, and really bad chronic pain, i need  peace and quiet.
. i dont mind normal nerighbour sounds but not blaring speakers in the garden..  i'll see what the neighbour says, if i dont get a response, ill have to go and talk to them direc tly..i was so shocked when he said it that i didnt ask him questions.

I don’t think it is practical to get the neighbours to stop what they’re doing, even if it is unfair of them. A report to the council won’t achieve much, but it may generate a dispute that will add to your stress. 

So, you either will need to live with the noise, or start wearing noise cancelling headphones. Or, buy elsewhere. Fencing, even special noise deadening fencing, will only help a little.

This sounds terribly stressful for you and you must be really disappointed after such a struggle to find somewhere.  In no way do I want to play down your health problems, but I've got a slightly different suggestion.  It depends whether you think this new neighbour told you about their gatherings to forestall any future complaints, or if they just mentioned it in passing.  There is the approach of living with it, making friends with them, trying to think of it as just the happy sounds of people enjoying themselves, even tuning in your own TV (if you get a small one) to the same station very quietly.  I know you said you don't have a TV and you have brain fog and need peace and quiet, but it sounds like your current living situation hasn't been exactly idyllic either and maybe you will feel better in the new place with the worry of the roof etc behind you?
Hope it all turns out to be much better than you think.

Have you seen this hut/tv?  Are you sure they are not just making up horror stories to torpedo the sale for whatever personal reasons?  Eg they want to make a lowball offer themselves or they had some personal grievance with the deceased’s family.

FaerieL, what did the neighbour say exactly, and in what manner?
What else did the conversation include?

I agree it is possible this is a bit of a ruse to enable them or someone they know to buy the property...

OP, if they are having noisy parties outside on a regular basis all year round, then the council can put a stop to it. It has all the ingredients of a statutory nuisance and your local council environmental health team can and will deal with it - they have a legal obligation to investigate, and your neighbours don't have a right to loud parties every weekend.

Having said that, depends on the house. In our old house, the neighbours round the back seemed to have parties virtually every other weekend during the summer, but it never bothered us as our bedroom was at the front, and so was the living room. Totally silent on that side of the house. We'd occasionally hear music if we went in the kitchen. Without seeing the property it's hard to tell, but nothing you have said would put me off if it's really difficult to find a suitable property. We also had a rented property next door for years and the various tenants were hit and miss when it came to noise. When someone bought it, all the problems stopped.

Don't rely on anything being done about it, it can take years if at all.

Extend your search and find somewhere else. Don't restrict the area to where your current care assistant can get to, you can get another and you will soon build a new relationship.

Your health is the most important and having to put up with noise, or sit with headhones on is going to do nothing to help it.

Absolutely x 2.

The second point is almost as relevant; you have no control over who your neighbours will be, now or in the future; good can become bad, and vicky verka.

Imagine buying in a quiet 'hood, and then a party neighb moves in beside you. How you'd laugh at the 'rony...

thank you so much for all your replies. so much has happened.. i went and talked to the neighbours next door to them on the other side.. they dont share a wall or fence, but they said it was so noisy that they had to put triple glazing in, and they have fallen out with them completely. they also said that they built a cabin with a shower for when family stayed occasionally and they remorted them to the council .. it sounds awful. And the other thing is, i was there the day after and the busses fall into potholes on the road, and it sounded like lorries every  5 minuites.. i thought maybe i could take my bedroom in the lounge, but there was no room that would have been quiet. 
I've pulled out of the sale, but the agent who sold me it has refused to show me any more houses because he said it was an unreasonable reason to pull out, and my agent is really  annoyed with me because my buyer has gone into rented.. 

I know i took this place and it wasnt right for me because the bedroom was so claustrophobic as the conservatory bscked onto it, but i was so deserate.
The bigesti thing affecting my mental health is the pressure im under to move, from my neighbour so my buyer can pay her the £4k roof repairs owed.  I droppeed the flat price by £4k so my buyer could agree to pay my neighbour 4K on completion. 

I know if i could pay her, and get my buyer to up the offer to account for the roof repairs i would pay, would take so much pressure off me. but my agent is saying that my buyer would walk. 
I've now just applied for a credit card, and if i get it, i will pay my neighbour off, and then i would be in panic mode to take a bungalow that is not suitable. 
I feel like im being bulied by my agent.. they already lied to me about my chain.. I think logically even if my buyer walks, if i can pay off at teast the majority of my roof repair debt, i can change agents and take my time.. 
That's my last option i can think of to take the pressure off me.
I may not get the credit though.
I think my agent is sick of my being mentally unwell on the phone.. i had months of them lying to me so i was already frantic by that point. im sure they have to deal with mentally ill,  people  with learning difficulties in difficult housing situations.. they just really hate me after i was so angry ande stressed from being lied to.
