As said, when we first moved in we introduced ourselves only to have their terms and conditions laid out to us which is not right in my opinion. Never reacted to that at that point. These people are in their 30's, know it all and want everything their own way.

Quite agree with what you are both saying, but unfortunately, an understanding will not be reached now, it has all gone too far. As stated, I'm sure that is why the previous owners sold up and went based upon a quote from the woman next door. When we asked about them, as you do when moving and viewing a house, the answer was short and sweet. Be honest, you will never say the neighbours are bad when you want to sell now will you!!. I have spoken to the previous owners since and they have said that they complained a fair bit when friends were round, bbq's etc. As stated, you can do, within reason, what you want on your property to a certain degree, but nothing at all seems to be liked by these next door. They appear to be loners as nobody ever visits them. Perhaps this is why they are the way they are? The only way out is to sell up and move on which is a shame as we have put a lot of time, effort and money into this house over the past year since we have been here. As said in my op, I have never ever fallen out with neighbours in my life and never thought I would. Not a nice situation to be in, it is on your mind morning, noon and night. Ok, some will probably say to hell with them etc., but that does not solve the problem we have. Not nice walking out your front door when they are there to be ignored. Fortunately, we do not share a drive with them!!

Oh well................!!!!!!!

Thanks to all for your input. Have had an agent round to value the property, so the hunt is on to move now.

Regards,

Dave.

Trampolines are everywhere these days. If one neighbour gets one it seems all the others want bigger and better.

Why do people want these ugly dangerous things in their gardens?? and while I'm at it why do so many 40 odd yr olds insist on acting like children?

My advice to anyone moving house is to knock on as many doors in the neighbourhood as you can and find out as much as possible about the neighbours before you decide to buy.

Might be best if it doesn't go official,as you are supposed to put any neighbour disputes down on the legal paperwork when selling your house,,,you wouldn't want to put your new buyers off ,would you?

When you were viewing the house with the intention to buy did the sellers declare that the next neighbours were a problem if so you have recourse, for not telling you.

Get a small diary and write down every date and time it takes place. Duration too as that counts for a lot.
Record on your phone or other device a few occurances so that video evidence backs up your diary.
Gathering of evidence is your best way of getting a quick result.
You might get lucky and record a really noisy session and you can invite him round to view it and ask his opinion especially after that first conversation you had upon moving in.
No one should have to suffer that kind of persistent stress.
