To ask my neighbour to move their trampoline slightly out of sight when I have viewers round to my house?

[Fimbo]

Trying to sell my house at the moment, although we are detached we are very very close to our neighbours house. The only thing really separating us from the trampoline is a 6ft fence. When you look out of the back bedrooms all you see is this looming big trampoline (gardens are quite small). AIBU?

Loud and clear, Tutter. Loud and clear .

Its quite ironic really, as we are buying the dc a trampoline when we move!

Yes, now if any of you rich Londoners fancy a holiday home in Norfolk do roll up, Beryl's first in line of course.

Have to confess if it were my mum it would be an issue - her neighbours have a humungous trampolene in their garden, which is adjacent to mum's front garden/bedroom window (trampoline people are in a corner house).

She said the kids she didn't mind so much, it was when the adults got lagered up after their parties and all decided to go have a bounce at 2am that bothered her... she ended up having a very tall fence built!

Good luck selling, Fimbo - we're about to put ours on the market - if I can ever get off MN and go tidy the place!

yes

When i lived at home our next door neighbours had a trampoline and they WERE the neighbours from hell. Its a long story but i just wanted to go and set fire to their bloody trampoline.

by the way, i would be put off by a huge trampoline. not enough not to offer on a house i liked, but if i wasn't sure it could sway me.

What puts you off about a trampoline Aitch?

do trampolines indicate chavness?

no they indicate annoyingness.

my dds want one but i am not so sure

they seem a pita to keep clean and they are not exactly bonny

I just don't see how they are annoying.

But then I'm not that overlooked by anyone and it's not in a small garden. Maybe that makes a difference.

Oh , and we aren't chavvy

Keep clean?! Eh? I don't clean ours! THey go on it without shoes so it doesn't get dirty!

It was probably just the annoying neighbours i had. I don't suppose everyone is as annoying but them and that trampoline

i mean in the rain, they get covered in leaves etc gdg

I would LOVE to have one of these!

What fun!

I can just see DD1's face lighting up when she saw it. 'Ooo! Let's going boingy boingy!'

Yes, let's.

oh nooooooooo

it's just another possible point of tension with the neighbours, isn't it? you're in your garden sitting quietly with a drink, their kids are bouncing up and down over your fence. PITA.
as i say, it might sway me if i wasn't sure about teh house... if the garden was huge i wouldn't care but it doesn't sound like that's the case in this instance.

It is so annoying when you are in the garden and next door are bouncing up and down looking over your fence

They're probably don't even care what you are doing in your garden because they are enjoying a good bounce.

Boingy boingy boingy indeed!

Roll on, summer.

The only reason my old neighbours got a trampoline is so they could nose at us in our garden, they were a nightmare

they were also very sad indeed

What age were the old neighbours? (Sorry) I think if you have had irritating children next door like me and kks had you would try to avoid living becide a trampoline.

I would find it annoying to have one next door (noise, kids noise + my kids clamouring to go on it)

thank goodness we have no neighbours at all

When we first moved there the kids were 6 and 9 and we lived there for 10 years.

I'd ask them to move it.
