I moved in a week ago
It's a semi detached
Heard nothing until last night.
From 6pm music blasting and singing top of their lungs.
There's about 4-5 people in
They are in their 40s
I've had no sleep
They clearly on a bender /drink /drugs
I thought this was a lovely house
The men and women are constantly screaming then shouting and obviously the bass.
I've only been hear a week
Can I complain ?

They left for 15 mins and came back with bags of I'm assuming alcohol

See if your HA has a number on their website for out-of-hours problems (not emergency repairs).
If there is, call them later tonight.

Also check local council website, some councils still have emergency environmental numbers.

Failing that, call the police after midnight and explain how long this has gone on for. They may have knowledge of your neighbours from past behaviour.

Best of luck. It's shit when this happens.

Well mine is h/a but not sure about next door as a lot in this street are bought houses

Oh well go via the HA then.

ohbloodyhel · 04/11/2023 21:01

I'm going to wait till midnight and ring 111
It's gone on now for 28 hours
I feel like tearing my hair out

I'd be nervous about going round to be honest - it's unlikely to achieve anything. They'll either be aggressive and ramp things up to annoy you, or they'll try and persuade you to join them, or they'll turn it down for 5 minutes.

I think police are your best bet. At least then they won't know definitely that it was you complaining. Presumably they'll be disturbing other neighbours?

FreeezePeach · 04/11/2023 21:11

111 will get you through to the NHS, you need to ring 101 for the police.

But if I were you, I'd look up the number of your council noise abatement team.

Northernsouloldies · 04/11/2023 21:14

That's definitely gear fuelled I'd be hoping one o them did one line too many and pegged it. Neighbours like that are no joke. We had an idiot for six years always an excuse for ahole behaviour.

You actually hope one of them dies?

Northernsouloldies · 04/11/2023 21:19

Wouldn't bother me in the slightest. If you had been tormented by scum like this you would understand the level of hate that builds up overtime.

wowsors · 04/11/2023 21:31

Holding your hand op this is a nightmare

Mrspinksky, I wasn't being flippant with you. When uve been subjected what op has it can be very traumatic. As I said we had it for six years. It could've been any day of the week at any hour. 5am on a weekdays, my Dw in tears because of no sleep and up at 4,30am for work.

Cosycover · 04/11/2023 21:48

Selfish pricks.

I'd absolutely be ruining their come down day tomorrow.

ohbloodyhel · 05/11/2023 07:35

Ended up falling asleep with rain sounds on my tv
They've turned the music off around 6 am but still shouting and screaming
Luckily I'm on holiday in a week so I get a break in the sunshine -if it's still the same when I get back I'm reporting to h/a and council
I really hope it's a one off because I love my house
It's nothing special but I love it

That's some sesh they have had. Must have spent an absolute fortune on gear. How pathetic.

Bad /noisy neighbours are the only people in my life I’ve ever wished death on. If you’ve experienced it you’d understand.

user1471538283 · 05/11/2023 08:00

I would complain quite firmly in the hope it gets nipped in the bud

But from my experience they know what they are doing and don't care. Get your HA, council noise abatement team and anyone you can think of involved now.

I wish noisy neighbours nothing but ill.

Blueuggboots · 05/11/2023 08:13

Please make sure you document the times you were disturbed. I lived with horrendous neighbours for 14 months but the council would only look at antisocial noise between 11-7. The council will have a noise abatement team - contact them if it happens again.
I'm so sorry, I know how horrible this is.

KeithChegwinFromExtrasPopKnob · 05/11/2023 08:16

I fucking hate cunts like this. I absolutely HATE them. Bastards.

Vettrianofan · 05/11/2023 08:21

ohbloodyhel · 04/11/2023 12:03

It hasn't stopped it's still going on now
Blasting and screaming
I can hear every word to every song in my living room and bedroom

My NDNs also were entertaining last night. I have barely slept they were talking so loud. It went quiet at around 3.30am. I am totally fucked this morning. You have my sympathies. To be fair, my neighbours are usually fine. I have spent the last hour playing piano 🎹😂

ohbloodyhel · 05/11/2023 08:22

Do you think when I report them things will get better ?
Or will they just ignore the council etc?

No harm playing some five finger death punch. Really loud.

Whataretheodds · 05/11/2023 08:24

I'm flabbergasted that when they were still going at 11am the next morning you didn't go round to ask them to keep it down a bit.

Northernsouloldies · 05/11/2023 08:25

Hopefully the council take you seriously because I think you have had a taster of what they are like and there's no way on God's earth you should have to live like that.

wowsors · 05/11/2023 08:26

Hope you're recording it Op?
