No, I think the form you fill in refers to things like neighbour disputes but that's stuff like boundary disputes, noise nuisance - things lawyers get involved in where there's a paper trail.

Not a chance you'd get sued for having a neighbour whose son is annoying sometimes.

Section 2 of the TA6 also asks you to declare “Is the seller aware of anything which might lead to a dispute about the property of a property near by?” Whilst the likelihood is small, there is precedent for former owners being sued for misrepresentation even if no formal complaint has been made, if it can be demonstrated that they were aware of a problem: so if you’ve complained to other neighbours for example, and those neighbours then let slip to the new owner that oh yes, Darnfedup was really annoyed about the son being aggressive and causing disturbance, she used to moan at us about it, that could be used to support their case that you answered untruthfully.

If you’ve never mentioned it to anyone at all and never made any kind of complaint to anyone, it’s reasonably safe to say no.

Absolutely not

Have you ever spoken with your neighbour about the issue?

But if the op has done nothing other than stew in her home about it - then absolutely nothing can be levied against the op whatsoever
