I live in a small block of flats which has been converted. Basically on one side there is a house with a family and above us there is a flat which is being used as the office for one person (from the family next door). When we took on the lease we were told it was an office and that they had no intention to change anything. One year on, the landlords want to convert the flat above back into a normal flat.
From time to time people have stayed in the 'office' and it has always been very noisy (much noisier than in any other block of flats I have been in). The building is old and we hear everything (conversations, water running), plus the bathroom is above our bedroom! The landlords seem to have assumed we wouldn't be bothered about this and that they will do the work to convert it whenever they feel like it (including weekends) without informing us. Has this happened to anyone else?
Obviously there's not much we can do or would try to do other than look for somewhere else to live. But pretty unimpressed as if we'd known we wouldn't have chosen to live here in the first place.
