Moving in under a year

Soaceorange

Any guidance please. 

My wife and I moved into our new house in December 2024 and naively didn’t do much digging on the neighbour, we purchased from a friend who neglected to tell us how bad they actually are, but the past is the past and I won’t share the details. 

I’m keen to try and now sale the property and move out, as we can’t really go on like this anymore, we all make mistakes and I’d really appreciate any experience or guidance from anyone who’s experienced this situation before. Talking with them and explaining the situation won’t help and would probably make it much worse and only ramp up their activities. 

If you are, were ever in this position, what steps would you advise please ?

Not much of a friend, if he / she sold a house to you under false pretences.

I'd always advise to sell immediately in those circumstances. Don't be tempted to interact with your neighbour because if you do, you'll likely have to declare a dispute, making your house far more difficult to sell and reducing the price if and when it does sell.

Find a "friend" to sell the house to but neglect to mention the troublesome neighbour.....

Just be aware that if you start any kind of formal action against a neighbour then you would be obliged to report this fact in the disclosures document you have to complete when selling.

The relevant enquiries don't require there to be a "formal" dispute (whatever that might mean!). It sounds likely that the OP may be already beyond the point of having to disclose the problem.

What are the problems that the neighbour is causing?

Cutting off his internet by the looks of it.

Put the house on the market and sell it, don`t be afraid to drop the price to get interest.
