Loud swearing neighbour

[neighbourhell29]

Name changed for this.

I don't know what to do. I'm sat here with my head in my hands. I moved into a lovely property last month. My property backs onto a flat. I've briefly said 'Hello' to the guy who lives there - no problem. Recently however, the woman who lives there or in one of them (not sure if it's more than one) has been blasting her music so loud. The walls are quite thin! She sings at the top of her voice and is doing it right now.

I don't think she works. I am an online educator and the other day she banged on the wall and called me a 'dickhead'. She must have heard me teaching, or I moved to another room. I am very respectful and always keep things to a minimum. I just want to peace and quiet at night time because now I can't sleep with the music.

She will randomly bang on my wall too? (doing it now) So I banged on hers, and it was met with 'Don't bang on my fu*in wall you di*head etc etc.

Not sure how to handle this, or what to do.

I think I’d go round and tell her you’re wfh and is there a problem? If she persists with aggressive behaviour, phone the police non-emergency number if you feel threatened.

Are you a music teacher or something? Struggling to see how a bit of teaching could be so loud it annoys your neighbours and has them bad on the wall.
Sounds awful. Have you bought or do you rent? Just wondering if you bought if the previous owners had recorded any issues there.

No, I just teach children who are out of school. My DD is getting very upset and has been banging on the walls, which is met with "I'll play my music how the F I want" etc. I don't want to go around because she sounds seriously unhinged. My DD has lost her temper, but tried to calm her down.

I rent, but paid 6 months upfront as no choice.

How old is your DD? I think I would just start looking for another property and try not to engage. If you rent at least it is not your problem long term. Sorry it is happening, sounds crap

Do you have any use same landlord? Could you complain to them? If not then I would contact council or online police report. Good luck.

Maybe they are social housing to your rear

It was a private rental but done through Openrent also. I've messaged the landlord to explain. He's been great and I feel bad but I just cannot put up with this.

She is still playing music now. I've given DD some tissue paper and she's put them in her ears to try and sleep. I can't believe people can be so disgustingly disrespectful sometimes.

I just hope I can get some of that rent money back...that's my biggest concern.

The strange thing is when I saw the guy come out of the property is seemed fine. He was up putting out the bins and think he was heading to work.

I don't get it.

he*

If she's playing music at this time and causing a disturbance I'd fill in an online complaint with the police, log everything. Also is there a noise team at the council who have an out of hours contact number? Worth a call to them to.

I will contact them tomorrow. She's stopped playing that racket now thank goodness.
