PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

How would anyone prove a bribe? No evidence.
Happens all the time!

The neighbours tell the new owners what the previous owners did.

Only earsay, not proof.

That's not earsay, as it would be a first hand account.

And hearsay evidence is admissible in civil cases anyway.

(assuming we're talking England or Wales)

In any event, I expect other neighbours would also be able to give first-hand evidence about the antisocial behaviour.
