How to stop someone buying the house next door

Entirely tongue in cheek, I intend to be neighbourly and lovely but...

Our neighbours are selling their house. It’s on a really quiet road, tucked away so that you’d never come down it if you weren’t a resident or visiting a resident. It’s a big reason we bought here.

On Tuesday I heard an almighty roaring noise that even my colleagues on zoom suggested I should investigate. I looked out of the window to see a very expensive car turning outside our house and driving off. Turns out the driver had been looking around next door.

Today I came home to find said very expensive car parked partially across my driveway, which was a bit annoying in itself. Must be a second viewing. Now I have visions of being woken up by an ostentatiously loud car every morning or late at night Sad and living next door to someone who feels the need for such an expensive and ostentatiously loud car

Any (also tongue in cheek) suggestions as to how I put them off? Grin

Btw...The Tesla is an electric car and is very quiet, no wonder your DH made a 🤪 face....😂😊🌹

It’s one car, Aston Martin is the make, DB11 is the latest model😂 Sean Connery as James Bond drove an Aston Martin DB5 in the film Goldfinger in 1964🙂
I know. I meant I know it’s an Aston Martin but I have no idea what model.

Also know the Tesla is electric, hence the self deprecating anecdote!

I’m enjoying the comments here😂😂
I do hope that you, OP don’t get new noisy neighbours whether that be their car or the people🌹💐

Well we've lost house sales thanks to our next door neighbours yapping shifty terrier.

Get a terrier barking app. Play it loud every time someone cones to view.

3 viewers at our house have said lovely house shame about your neighbours dogs!

Stand outside in pjs fag in hand screaming “get down Tyrone, Chelsea, Apple, and Brooklyn!” At some kids (borrow something if you have none) bouncing on a settee in your front garden and get Someone to pop up in their Ford Fiesta xr2 and leave it on bricks outside. Stride up and down with a huge mobile really loud asking for extra money to put the lecky on, and if they want you can go and nick them that really classy shocking pink Pauls boutique handbag from selfridges that would go ‘wiv’ their coat! throw a bottle and smash it in the back garden and shout fuckin hell Drayton! Look what you’ve done you’ve knocked mommies cider all over Alton!
