To want to move because I hate my neighbours?

[mumtomaxwell]

We got off to a bad start... They moved in 6 months ago and had a couple of late night parties. The second one upset all the neighbours because of teenagers outside swearing and v loud music. They apologised and assured us they are "decent people". Her words, not mine!
There have been a few minor issues since - more loud music, inconsiderate parking etc - but nothing terribly wrong. I just hate them with a passion that frightens me!
I dread coming home, and I hate weekends because their windows are open and the music is blaring. Right now they're outside shouting at each other and swearing. They're just so loud and inconsiderate. I don't want to go in my garden or my conservatory because all I can hear is them.
I love my house, I just hate the people next door! They're renting at the moment but have the option to buy and the thought of that makes me feel ill. My DH thinks it's better the devil we know - after all we could end up living next to properly bad neighbours. WWYD?

There should be a website where you could name and shame nightmare neighbours, to discourage people from being dicks, and also so people moving to an area are forewarned. It took us ages to uncover the fact they'd been kicked out of York social housing for ASB and our council would not have had any reason to re-house them if they were exposed for what they are. Now a perfectly good house has been wasted.

I'm on bed now. Listening to those fucking dogs!

Just who the bloody he'll thinks it's OK to let their dog bark for 20 minutes (and counting) at this time of night???

Arse holes? ???

Fuck I want to move. Only bought this place 5 months ago and I hate it

Definitely sympathise with Joffrey. My friend has just had a family who've been moved from their other house (presumably due to complaints ) and 3 cars have been set on fire in the last fortnight. You can take the boy out of the 'hood' but not the hood out of the boy.

OP,give it another 6 months and see how you feel then. Your hatred towards them night have settled down a bit and they might even have moved on if they rent.

Have horrid neighbours. A racist, stuck up blond woman with three older teenage sons who shout obscene language, kick doors and makes it a living hell these last few years. They had frighten us completely like they would do something evil and then have found our home broken into when we were out one evening but they denied it and insulted us. Our whole family has lived there for generations and never had any problems so it can't just be a coincidence that things are starting like this. Have no peace of mind and don't know why to deserve this pain. now we can't even enjoy our lives. They have turned everyone against us by cajoling others, bribing people and gossiping and we have never had a problem with anyone before they rented it but they don't seem to be moving anytime soon. We told people higher up but it falls on deaf ears.

My hideous ex neighbours made my life hell for over 3 years. Three terrace houses, one side were teachers - no problem, other side was a former heroin addict with her two kids, her druggie ex who lived in the the shed, and a plethora of local scourge who would congregate at their party house. He dealt from the house so cars would pull up constantly, all times of the night and they treated their front garden like a living room.

The police and council were totally disinterested. I worked from home so got little respite from then. They didn't work so spent most nights awake playing some fucking awful dance music continuously. The mother would disappear for weeks at a time taking the daughter with her, leaving the teenage son alone in the house to do as he pleased.

Eventually I met my DP and moved out (thank fucking god). A few months later her mother died (was the one decent person out of the lot of them and was found there frequently trying to help them). About a year later the teenage son died of an accidental overdose. Now when I drive past the house looks totally quiet. I assume the family still live there but it looks like a totally different place.

My next door neighbour is the rudest, most obnoxious man I have ever met. He was hostile towards us as soon as we moved in 15 years, has made threats against us, is aggressive and appears to be permanently angry. He stares through our window whenever he walks past and often makes threatening gestures. He is a belching, grunting neanderthal who I hate so much I actually fantasize about killing him. Ideally I want him to move to another neighbourhood, but then he would be someone else's problem.

We have lovely neighbours. The same ones since we moved here in 1993!
We have seen their 2 daughters grow up, marry and have children. They have seen our son grow up and move into his own home.

We had neglected doing up our house [due to other commitments] for several years, so about 3 years ago we did loads and there were many different tradesmen's vans here for weeks! Our neighbours cam round to tentatively ask if we were moving? I was flabbergasted and said we weren't. They were so relieved because they thought we were tarting up the house to sell - and didn't want to lose us as neighbours!!!

I feel so sorry for the posters on here with their awful experiences of neighbours. If only people could be respectful of others.
What a selfish nation we are turning in to...

What was the outcome of this?

I’ve horrible toxic neighbours.

We’re moving in 10 days and I can’t wait. We texted them while we were on holidays. They’re now hounding the estate agent and told the estate agent he’s found out where we are moving to. Creepy fucker

We’ve got to get our house painted and put it on the market, but a lot easier to do without kids, dogs etc

My neighbours have had a lot of problems in the last few years. For some reason they’re projecting all this stuff onto me, so for some reason everything that’s gone wrong in their life is my fault (premature family bereavement/cancer) is my fault. They accuse me of behaviour that they are doing. I’m just ignoring it but it was really hard, I’d panic attacks after the last burst of abusive phone calls.

They’re clearly not well and have lashed out at other family members and are now estranged from them but I can’t stay and have them shouting down the phone about how I’ve ruined their lives. Hopefully they get help with their mental issues but we’ve decided to leave.

I’ll be sad to leave after 17 years, all the kids measurements, our pets are buried in the garden, but the lovely memories have been largely drowned out by the horrible toxic atmosphere.

yes we suffered the same issues and the council bent over backwards to help them all the time;. bailiffs etc all the time - never paid anything and then given a 4 bed new house because of loads of children.

Why resurrect a ZOMBIE THREAD?
