Hi all.
Hopping on this thread
Haven't necessarily got 'bad neighbours'. We live in a semi detached and the house next to us (not joined on though) is currently empty as the man has gone into a carehome. Children can't sell it yet, so it's literally just empty.
Neighbours joined on are OK - older retired couple, little bit nosey but not overbearing. The only thing I find weird is the fact that the husband (who is around 65?) is constantly in his garage. I mean, from 9am-3am! Even on Christmas day, he spent most of the time in there after their children and grandchildren went home. They went on holiday a few months back, and we didn't even know they had returned until we heard him going out to the garage. His wife popped round one day to bring a parcel for us, and we had a chatter (as you do!) and she mentioned he has a computer in there as he's into gaming. I just casually asked what sort of gaming and she said she had no idea what he does. Now... I understand the whole thing of 'man sheds' but it's literally a old garage, like they've made no effort to do it up. Plus, the houses we're in are an older build and are actually quite big compared to others in the area. It's just them in a 3 bedroomed house... Why isn't his computer indoors?
It's so irritating when you hear him banging about locking the doors in the garage at 3am!

My mum's ex-husband was like this! He had an office inside the house but then made the garage a games room, where he build a flight deck, steering wheel game thingy and then a bar. But it was all so horribly done using random scrap materials, it looked awful.Hi all.

But my mum & him basically lived separate lives. She would stay in and entertain herself while he was outside half the evening. She always said she thought he just watched hours of p0rn out there
It didn't feel normal living in the same house as that but worked for them I suppose.
That's what I just think when I see him to be honest hahahaha! I've built up a bit of an idea in my head that he's a bit of a crazy porn addict.. Watch this, the bloke will be just innocently be playing farm simulator or something hahahaMy mum's ex-husband was like this!

Well I’m glad I’m not the only one who’s mind went straight to the gutter, I hate that I immediately thought “porn!”
Housing is writing a formal letter to my plant cutting neighbour and the police are coming to visit Saturday for an informal visit. I refuse to have another summer of her BS.
I spend a lot of time at my partner's home, but I have a place of my own. Because I am at my place so little, I tend not to take much notice of the neighbours - that is until yesterday.
According to another neighbour, one of the tenants in our building smokes weed and has a dog. Neither of these bother me too much, I have a poor sense of smell so I can't smell any dubious substances. But when I walked into the lobby of the building today, the floor was dirty and there were wet patches there. I can only asume that the wet patches came from the dog
The owner of the dog is breaching their tenancy agreement, because pets are not allowed in the building. I really don't want to get into any disputes with the neighbours, I am unsure what to do about it. I am hopeless at confronting people.

Could it have been people being wet from the rain, maybe umbrellas or something?
My daft neighbour has once again been un a cutting spree.. more evidence for the police on Saturday. What makes me laugh is she does it in the dark , they are fine when I go to bed but gone by 4 am.
I have dated before and after photos that show they were nowhre near overhanging the day before
Not content with all the other hassle she's caused me (cutting plants, harassment, intimidation, slander etc), my neighbour is now kicking a ball at my fence at every opportunity. I'd expect that behaviour from kids but not from a woman in her 60s
Oh no, sorry to hear it's happened again. I hope the police are helpful on Saturday
Must be benefit payday, my downstairs neighbour directly below me has come home with her dodgy boyfriend and now have the music blaring, clearly drunk. It’s a Wednesday night ffs
. Anyway, I’ve had a full on rant/meltdown about her before a few months back so won’t repeat myself.
It just sucks that the ‘buying my first property’ experience has been ruined for me, all because of my neighbours. I’ll never get to buy my first property again and whenever I look back on it I’m only going to remember how miserable and depressed I was and how much I cried (I am NOT a crier). I’m still a long way off being able to sell this place too so it doesn’t even feel like there’s an end in sight. There isn’t even a guarantee that wherever I end up next will be any better..
Looks like it’s another night of burying my head under the covers with my iPad and noise cancelling earphones. They must’ve missed ‘damaged hearing’ on the missives for this property

Police told me to ignore her and just live my life without worrying about her complaining as nothing she has ever complained about has any substance to it. They said housing is dealing with the plant cutting. I have the go-ahead for my high trellis fence can't remember if I posted it here? will post again in case, also might help others. You can have this in your garden as long as it's not attached to the actual boundary fence and there is no hight limit on it either.Not content with all the other hassle she's caused me (cutting plants, harassment, intimidation, slander etc), my neighbour is now kicking a ball at my fence at every opportunity.

The day before yesterday she made a fake FB to post on a few things I had posted on my FB page. Its so bizarre how she thinks everything I post is about her. she got so triggered reading my page she blew her cover. One of them was a memory from a few years back before she even moved here. I love sarky memes and love them even more now I know she thinks they are about her. Truth is she only enters my head when she does something stupid. I didn't even bite at the awful things she said about myself and my friend. I just corrected her spelling.
I also took grabs for my portfolio on her in case I even need more evidence, as have no doubt once my trellis fence goes up she will kick off.. Sadly the sun comes from my side of the fence
Today I shall be pond cleaning and water feature cleaning ready for the big switch-on later. The reason I have the water feature is to try to cover up the sound of her TV.. I don't hear it in the winter but it's like she watches it from her garden table in the summer. The water feature isn't big or loud except to her housing didnt even hear it when visiting
The pond is on the other side of the garden and everyone who walks past (walkway down the side) says how much they love the sound of the fountain.
She hates anything I have or do.
So have to see what this summer brings.
My noisy neighbours went away for a week and honestly the difference in my sleep has been incredible. I didnt realise how much I hear them until they went away. Low and behold thurs night I suddenly hear a load of banging and dogs barking and shouting....yeah they are back. Their house literally echoes!
On another note my parents live in a fairly fancy new build area(they are disabled so local authority moved them there), they have this family who moved on the quiet close beginning of last year and they are proper chavvy. They let their kids play in the road and leave random chairs over peoples drives or in the middle of the road(from football) toys in peoples gardens, just shite everywhere. My mum has carers twice a day as does the lady next door and the amount of times you have to stop the car and move a load of shite out the way is ridiculous. The house the family lives in has a tiny path in front of it and the family all pile outside and sit on chairs in the road and give you the evil eye when they have to move so you can drive your car past. There a few people in the little close who have disabilities so carers and ambulances are a fairly regular occurance. I know my mums carers have been questioned by this family whenever they ask them to move along. The police have been called several times as they have been full blown fighting in the street with another family. They have been put there from our local housing authority and apparantly they have had loads of complaints about them. No idea why they havent moved them out, the front of their house is covered in weird rubbish like bottles, halloween/xmas decs, broken furniture etc. I can just see one of the kids getting run over, its an accident waiting to happen. There is a big green literally around the corner and the family has a back garden so why they think its okay to let them play on a road I dont know.
Also this might be a coincidence but my mum has been having a large gas bill for the past 6 months, when she showed me the letter not only was her address on it but the chavvy family's address was on it too!! She didnt even notice. It has been sorted now and she has been paid back but I have no idea how that could happen, their house numbers are completely different.

I think your parents neighbours are related to my neighbours, sound exactly the same
Some people are just awful arent they. These houses were brand new and you can just tell that this family has wrecked their house and brought the street down with their behaviour. It wouldnt surprise me if they had been evicted due to similar problems in the past. I grew up on a council estate so i have seen my fair share of families like this.I think your parents neighbours are related to my neighbours, sound exactly the same
I never saw myself moving until ‘they’ moved in, every day there is something
zero respect for anything or anyone. They’ve turned a once lovely cul-de-sac into an eye sore. Children are being dragged up & run riot. Parents are parasites just bumming off the benefit system as a life style choice. My husband & I have lowered ourselves to losing our temper in the street with them for all the good it does 
I keep telling my parents that they will get evicted soon enough. Last month the police shut off the entire road as we saw the woman be handcuffed and taken away. The police later came round and asked my parents if they had seen what had happened, some fight again from what I gather. The same thing happened twice last year. When I popped over earlier my dad said that the guy had been punched right out after getting aggressive with the other family and the police had yet again been called. A neighbour said that before my parents moved in there was a family down the other end that had been moved out because they were dealing drugs. Its mental, the houses average around 230k-300k(which is a lot up here) and literally a minute walk from millionaires row, the majority of the street are professionals. There have been 3 houses put up for sale in the street since they moved in. Why the council are putting them in these houses I will never know.I never saw myself moving until ‘they’ moved in, every day there is something
Just keep reporting I guess & hope they get evicted. I feel like they’ve turned me into a moany old bag
I know!! It didnt bother me too much at first but its just getting worse, I literally had kids just walking around my car earlier as i was trying to park where they were playing football and I ended up running over a pair of their plimsols as they just stared at me as I was asking them to move them as I had to park there lolJust keep reporting I guess & hope they get evicted. I feel like they’ve turned me into a moany old bag
I joined a group on FB called neighbours from hell UK I thought it was going to be full of help support and advice and practical things we can do.
To be honest, though it seems to be full of people like my own neighbour, who would be saying all kinds of hysterical rubbish about me if she were on there.
she is paranoid and thinks I am only alive to piss her off.
I wonder if this is why police. housing and local councils have just about given up because those who are the problem shout the loudest?
Saying that I do blame housing for putting people next to the vulnerable. my neighbour has moved all around the area she moves every couple of years she complains about everything. She is a known troublemaker and violent. why put her in a small village in a tiny close that is all old, vulnerable and disabled people, when she is none of those things. its prime location beautiful bungalow its looks to me like she has been rewarded for her bad behaviour.
I notices she must have gone and bought lots of plants to put the side of the fence where she has been cutting my plants. So she has taken the warning on board. but this shows how pretty it is, she has spent £100s on fully grown plants rather than see the tips of my plants peeking over the fence.
its not a real grievance its because she don't like me so everything I do pisses her off.
wouldn't it be lovely to have a life so good that that all you have to worry about is your neighbours plants peeking over the fence

I've posted before about my nans revolting neighbour and her constant string of false complaints. We ended up dealing with the council without my nans knowledge as it was making her ill. Her neighbour appears to have gone quiet (that or the council aren't telling us) hopefully shes realised we wont take her tit like her previous neighbours. She was moved here because she was so awful in her previous home.
Anyway, I visited my nan last week on her birthday, she was also 1 week post hip replacement. This neighbour always parks in the courtesy disabled bay, there is only 1 space and she does appear to have a blue badge despite often posting about her 4 mile dog walks. My nans visitors and my mum refuse to use that space despite having a blue badge and every right to do so because they fear the backlash from this neighbour. Well I dont care. My son has a blue badge so I parked in the space. Only for her to come home and park so so close to the back of my car in an attempt to block me in. I was unable to walk behind my car or open the boot (lucky I didnt have to get in the boot!) Plus anything larger than a car would have struggled to get around the corner because of her parking. Anyway, jokes on her because I managed to get out just fine. I took a photo to show her ignorance and attempts of intimidation. She took a photo also I hope she complains as I'll wipe the floor with her.
