DHs house has finally got a buyer (low offer but c’est la vie). His tenant is moving out before Xmas. Last year when I was heavily pregnant we spent thousands doing it up and tried to sell it, but the market was stagnant and we had to relet it for another 12 months.
Our big problem is the reclusive neighbour next door and his bull mastiff and huskie dogs. We’ve had a few issues, but mainly it’s the Piles and piles of faeces in plastic bags or Unbagged littering his garden and the smell wafting over. The neighbour doesn’t go out much or walk the dogs sufficiently and they jump up at the window and scare passersby. DH has been on at him to clean up the weeks old dog shit for the sake of his tenant and her young daughter and also for our house viewings and with a lot of polite pestering and reminders, he has cleared it up in advance of viewings. Now that the For Sale sign has gone up, he’s let the shite pile up worse than ever and the tenant has sent us a picture and wants us to report him. He has mental health issues, takes strong medication and has a social worker who comes round to ‘plant lavendar’ with him. I frequently tow the line between really feeling sorry for him but also wanting to punch him and his horrible dogs in the face.
We need to sell this property and then Mine so we can have a nice family home with a garden for our son. We currently have a shared yard in a dodgy area ; we can’t afford to lose our buyer and put our life on hold plus obviously we would like to take advantage of the stamp duty holiday. What should we do?
