Hello,
I am really stressed about this and would love some advice. We own a flat in London, and unbeknownst to us neighbours on one side are awful. They are HA and regularly change tenants, so some are good and some are not. In addition, sometimes it's more than one HA tenant at a time, I think it might have studio flats inside. It is not, however, an HMO. It wasn't declared to us because the previous owner didn't actually live here so didn't technically have problems even though they definitely knew.
I've always put up with it in general but in lockdown anti-social behaviour was a bit much (loud music etc.). All disputes with them have been verbal, never written, and in general have been resolved by talking. I've been friends with one or two people who have lived there, whilst absolutely hating others.
I also queried with the council whether this was an HMO or not to find out. So, I guess I'll have to declare that bit of correspondence.
I live in central London where it is somewhat normal that private and council are next to each other. So, I'm not sure how big a deal it is. All my money is in this flat and I feel extremely stressed at the fact that in my mind it has become unsellable. I particularly worry about the property information sellers form and what I have to fill out there.
The London market is going to be awful for years to come anyway, so I've accepted I will not get what I bought for, but this combined with the neighbours is causing me so much stress and making me think I will never sell this flat.
Has anyone been through something similar? Or has any thoughts? I am really distressed at the moment.
