I have a terraced council house. My DCs are grown up now and both have plans to move out so I no longer need a 3 bed, also it will get too expensive when they are gone because of the two extra bedrooms. I have been offered a swap with a woman who has a beautiful flat in a desirable part of town.
She keeps stressing how quiet her flat is and how quiet her neighbours are, and I feel guilty because I am the one with problem neighbours - a teenager with a neglectful mother who plays music on a ridiculously loud phone on one side, and a "passionate" couple who regularly scream at each other at the top of their lungs on the other. My nerves are destroyed, it's rare to have peace in this house after 11am one way or another. Brat next door is blasting crap music as we speak, with his mother home and not bothered. She'll half heartedly tell him to turn it down and he ignores her.
I've been very lucky that when she viewed one evening they were all out. I desperately want to move, and she is very keen, but I feel guilty about walking away from these shitty neighbours and inflicting them on someone else, even though the issues are nothing to do with me!
