Anyone else have neighbours from hell?

I feel your pain! I'd have to have a word if it was affecting something as important as a uni assignment.

We have a couple that live next door and we can hear their "bedroom fun" at all hours. They both work in a club in town, so they must come in from work and get to it, usually about 5am and it's so loud that it wakes both me and OH up. Very annoying since I find it hard to get back to sleep once I'm awake! I want to complain, but OH won't.

? Ok, you win. Why does your OH not want to complain? Is he embarassed?

I'm not going round because I hate complaining and am rubbish at it. H can later. The last time H complained to them the boy looked so scared, then when he went back in we could hear him boasting to his mates 'I don't give a fvck what he thinks! He doesn't know me!' Idiot.

The flat opposite ours used to be inhabited by a drug dealer with a fondness for bass. Our place would shake when he had the music on and there would always be dodgy people turning up at all hours to pick up. He obviously had enemies though as his flat got torched last year and he has been moved on so to speak. Thank goodness!

We also had a couple upstairs who were quite ferocious in the bedroom. H and I nicknamed the guy ' The Jackhammer'. I think that explains it all! They sold up last year and the new couple are much quiter!

He's all for a quiet life (not that what we have is quiet thanks to them!) I don't think he wants the hassle. If it carries on, I think I'll have to go against his wishes if it carries on though, it really does make me feel a bit ill!

I wish they'd move out and be replaced by a nice quiet couple, the ones that lived there before the noisy couple were lovely and quiet!

Yes our next door neighbours are awful. They turn from Ravey Mcraverson to shaggy mcloudsex depending on the time of the week. I have knocked and complained twice when the noise was making our cat hide and the walls shake (from the music not the bonking), it was 5am and I was in pyjamas and clearly furious, but they were so drunk/high they invited me in!! They are 40 years old and should know better. She looks and dresses like Jordan. The house is up for sale so the sooner it sells and they go the better.

I have the opposite problem. I live above a really grumpy old man. Me and OH are a very quiet couple, we never have parties, rarely have people round, dont argue or scream and shout and dont play loud music. Within three months of me living there he had complained to environmental health TWICE about us. When I asked him wtf it was all about, he said I had had people round and we sounded like cowgirls. I had had three friends over, and we sat and watched tv...

I really really hate him and I hope when I move he gets some of your piano playing, drug dealing, loud shagging neighbours.

?????

We currently don't have any, but a young guy is in the process of moving in. Is it wrong that I automatically stereotype and asume he'll be having parties?

The best part is, this 'young' guy is mid twenties at a guess, I'm 23 ? - I'm such an old lady!

Very annoying since I find it hard to get back to sleep once I'm awake! I want to complain, but OH won't.

We live in a lovely quiet cul de sac and are never bothered by anyone...BUT!! There has to be a but, our next door neighbour moved a guy into her place about 6 months ago, and he keeps stealing my parking place/parking so badly he basicaly takes up enough space for 2 cars etc, and to make matters worse we just found out through the local rag that he's been charged with coming onto a 14 yr old girl,asking her for a BJ on FB chat when he knew her age, and now put on the sex offenders register, and she is still with him!! He isn't allowed to be alone with minors anymore and she has a son of about 11. I just think its wrong. If H did that he'd be gone!

Glad I'm not alone.

He is now singing Maroon 5 and playing guiter. Is there anything worse???

I dunno Sapphie I kinda like maroon 5 ? he could be playing the Proclaimers or something haha or blaring that stupid dubstep and whatnot.

Hahahaha. Oh my god, the proclaimers would be a step too far, I think.

A few months ago he went through a rappin stage. It was so funny. He is a middle-class white boy from Devon! His parents are teachers and own their own home! I'm embarassed for him.

I have to confess, I'm the noisy one ? Our bedroom walls are next to each other and are paper thin.

My next door neighbours are pretty cool, they put out my bins every week for me, take parcels in (And comment on how much I spend ?) and are always pleasant. The house the other side has been empty for over 6 years, so pretty quiet that side too ?

BB - house swap?

I'm probably a bad neighbour.

* I am noisy.

* I often vacuum after 9pm.

* I have a crazy dog.

* My dog has killed our next door neighbours rabbit.

* My cats prefer to *** in other peoples gardens than a litter tray or their own garden.

Not neighbours from hell but mine & others half house was a terrace house, both neighbours were late 70's and deaf, never heard the man on one side, but the lady on the other side had her tv on so loud, you could hear it walking on the other side of the road. Other half hated it when he would knock the new's off to avoid match results and she would still have hers on so her heard everything. I think the other neighbour to her eventually complained and the tv went quiet.

We did have people around alot, we were never that loud, but don't think it would of made a difference to them.

Live in a detached house now so don't have to worry about how loud other half has his amp on. Although my cats do prefer other people's gardens to do their business.

My friends are having trouble with their neighbours, they live in a new town house with neighbours either side, one of the neighbours is forever banging and screaming at his wall when all they have is the TV on at normal volume. He even came round on boxing day at 9pm to ask them to ask their family to leave cos they wanted to go to bed! I was there on Saturday night for my friends birthday, we had music on whilst waiting for the taxi. Not loud as we were all talking normal over it. My friends mum went onto her balcony and the woman who live with him came out screaming her head off, funny thing friend and friend mum have identical hair and she was stood away, the woman had a massive shock when she realised it was the mother. Their arguement he works shifts, 9pm on a Saturday night I would never bother to complain. They asked their other neighbours on the other side who said they never hear a thing.

We have horrible neighbours at the moment! It's a couple, and the guy is really chavvy and rude. He frequently screams at his girlfriend at all hours, "you selfish ***, you're lucky to have me, I pay all the bills and you just go out and drink what's left" etc. And then every Friday and Saturday they have noisy friends round. Our bedroom used to be next to their living room, so we'd hear every little thing, but we got so sick of not sleeping that we swapped the bedroom with the study upstairs. We can still hear them! But it's not as loud, so we can ignore it easier.

Oh, and they smoke weed all the time too, and regular cigarettes, even though smoking isn't allowed in our building. It stinks out in the hallway. I'm very tempted to tell the landlord tbh...

We did have awful neighbours at our old house. As a result we sold it at the start of the year.....although I was pretty worried that it may not sell if viewers were to turn up at a noisy moment. It may seem a bit extreme that we sold our home (first home together *sniff*), but it got to the point that I was left in tears over lots of different reasons.

They had moved into the house about 18 months before we sold our house - A 'single' mum with 4 children ranging from a baby to 10 years, in addition to a cat and a dog.

Before they moved in there was a single elderly lady in her nineties. When she passed away the property was sold and rented out through the local authority. Both her and her 'not partner' argued constantly, swearing etc. It was clear that the children learnt that shouting was the only way to communicate. On hot days we couldn't open our windows as the noise was so unbearable.

The breaking point came when my OH and I were painting the fences in our garden when the t**t next door called us some derogatory name and from then became very intimidating towards me when my OH was away. One day he drove towards quite quickly before swerving away at the last minute.

Luckily we sold our home in a few days and have since settled happily into our new home. We seem to have been blessed with lovely neighbours. I've literally just looked out of the window and noticed that they've very kindly cut our front lawn ?

Our neighbours are really quiet thankfully. There's a young woman and her 2 year old on one side who are rarely at home because she works and her parents look after her son, we don't see them very often.

The other side is a couple and their new baby, I knew the woman from school and from where I used to work, we're not close friends or anything but they're nice.

The worst thing about living here is the constant noise of barking dogs, drives me insane, I hate it.

Unfortunately I'm the one with the cat who shits in everyone's gardens (inc my own).

My nearest neighbour is about 250yards away thank feck!!! ?

Hello Friends,

Iam new member of this forum.

Ahhh sorry to drag this back up but I've been waiting for somewhere to vent about this!!

i live in a row of terraces, renting.

We moved in last year and the first night we went to bed and my neighbours on the right were playing their music ridiculously loud - went round as it was impossible to sleep and they apologised, music went off and we went to sleep.

A few days later we met our other neighbours, who had a go at us for cutting down their tree... Which we didn't do.

Over the next couple of months the neighbours with the music got progressively worse - on at all hours, really bassy and we could hear it in our living room which is separated by an alleyway (upstairs isn't). Went round on numerous occasions asking them to turn it down, on most of these they didn't even bother answering the door. They also had really loud sex & shouted at each other all the time. I ended up writing them a letter asking them to turn their music down (or off) and to be a bit quieter when having sex. Got a reply asking if we could have special times for them to have it on, despite it going on for months and them not even turning it off when we asked anymore, & they also claimed we couldn't have heard them having sex as they are religious and won't until they're married (the house is a student house, so I don't believe this for a second!)

Came to the conclusion, nothing me or H2B said was gonna make them shut up so we complained to our council. They provided us with recording equipment and over the next few weeks we recorded them when they were noisy. After this, we got a letter saying they had been warned tht if they do it again they will receive a £1000 fine and all was quiet for many months!!!

the past couple of weeks they have started again & don't listen to anything we say. We have decided to move as it has been too much stress (& we have also had parking issues, including these neighbours parking over our garage and blocking our car in) so we're moving at the end of this month. I saw on Rightmove that their house is up for rent too, available from start of June so they are leaving soon & obviously think they are invincible. Tried to call the council to complain again but with no response so today after nearly a year of torture their music started up and I dragged H2B's loud bassy gaming chair up the stairs, plugged it into my iPhone and played the bassiest songs I know for 10 minutes, long enough for them to know two can play at that game but not long enough for my other neighbour's to think I'm being disrespectful to them. Haven't heard a peep since then!

In the middle of all this, my other neighbours were really quiet - up until a couple of months ago when I think one of their younger family members moved in. Since then, they are arguing all day long and I have to sit with my TV mega loud to drown them out. So all day I get arguing and bassy music and then I go upstairs to sleep and get more arguing and bassy music!!!

I can't wait to move but I am dreading getting horrible neighbours again, before this year I lived in student halls & one of my flat mates smoked weed all day and night and played his rubbish music all night.

Sorry for the essay, but I'm so thankful just to be able to rant!!!

We have good neighbours - our issue is some little chav that drives down our really quiet road at 530 AM on his moped ragging the hell out of the engine. We know the police told him off and also have them under surveillance but sadly it hasn't made a bit of a difference!

Roll on the day said Chav passes his driving test I have seen the car we have in store Chav tastic but I guess anything is better than the high pitched noise of a moped!!!!!!!!!!!

I am blessed with my neighbours. We live in a short row of 5 terraces (large 3 bed ones) and I love all my neighbours. C & M on one side, she is lovely and we swap plants out of our gardens, he is ill and we don't see him much but they hardly make any noice at all.

G on the other side is 80 and a bit deaf but great for a chat and always takes our parcels in and looked after the guinea pigs when we were away. He sometimes plays Johnny Cash a bit load but never at silly times of the day or night.

Either side of them are an older couple V & A who are lovely and quiet and always stop for a chat and the other side is C & I who are lovely too. We all chat over the garden fences (usually with a beer or 2)

I will cry my heart out when we have to move

Remember, if you can hear them, they can probably hear you too! lol

I live in a block of flats and I don't hear any noise from the other flats. But, everyone parks in the wrong spaces, even though they are allocated, and I seem to be the only one who cares. I put notes on people's cars telling them not to park there, when they have parked in my space. One woman took the note off and put it on my car, which really annoyed me. And when I moved in it was a brand new building, really nice. Now it has holes in the walls where people have punched them, the mail boxes get vandalized and people throw their junk mail all over the floor in the hall. It could be much worse, but it could also be nicer.

We're moving into a block of flats after our nightmare as my mum has a new one and we never hear anyone else in hers!! Hoping it'll be the same & the parking is all allocated and as far as I can tell everyone parks where they're supposed to, plus there is room for other cars to park outside of the allocated spaces ? I can't wait to move! 3 weeks and I'll be in the new place!!

Thank you!! I am counting down the days but also worried about whether it will be the same ☹️

Only one more year of renting & then we are back in with H2B's parents to save for a mortgage - & if possible I am buying a detached to avoid this problem ?
