NDN is trying to highjack potential buyers viewing our house.

Am currently selling our house and have found out my NDN is being very intrusive with anyone coming to view. They have lived next door to us for about four years and have always seemed OK, don't know them that well but they have been quiet and considerate so no issues with them. They are not the reason we are moving.

They are having extensive work done on their house and the wife is very excited about it and thinks everyone else is fascinated too. Knocked on the door on some pretext and asked if she could come in. FWIW she has never been in our house before which shows we are not that close. Suggested we might like to have copies of their architects drawings and display them for our vendors to look at as 'they would love to see what is going on next door'. My feeling is vendors are only going to be interested in how the work affects them noise wise etc and nothing else. Was polite and said leave them and I would tell the Estate Agent as they are doing the viewings.

Next time I see the wife she says she has just happened to be in the front garden when several people have come to see the house. She has had 'long lovely chats' with them and told them how lovely everyone in the road is and they are having work done and happy to show them. Yesterday reached a head when a friend came to see me for a coffee. Within minutes of her arrival NDN was on the doorstep asking if someone was viewing and maybe she could come in to meet them and have a chat.

I have mentioned to the Estate Agent who thinks she sounds unhinged and thanked me for the warning. They are going to arrive early so they can guide people straight into our house.

Anyway WIBU to tell my NDN to fuck right off.

Weirdly overly-friendly neighbour? I wouldn't buy the house. Extensive work going on next door? Wouldn't buy the house for that reason either. Both together? You will be lucky to sell if you don't keep her away from viewers.

Sounds like you are going to need to secure all access to your garden, if you haven't already. Can you temporarily block up the access yourselves -maybe move a shed or something?

Your neighbour really doesn't seem to have any sense of social boundaries!

Side gate is locked and bolted and we only have one key which stays with us. There is no right of access or implied right of way so builders can do one.

Saw NDN over the road talking to neighbours over there and gesturing towards our house with a Daily Fail sad face expression. they were smiling indulgently and rolling their eyes at each other. Expecting a visit later and won't be answering the door, Eastenders is much more interesting than her.
