Would you move?

[justmakemeacuppa]

I have a nice house, paid for but can’t stand my neighbors! If I stay I can live mortgage free but don’t enjoy being where I am or move have to borrow money and risk the people that live elsewhere are a bit more tolerable.
A bit of background of neighbors:
Neighbor A I used to get on with really well till I found out she was a compulsive liar and two faced. Told her I couldn’t be friends but stay civil for the sake of being neighbours but no longer run errands for her.
Neighbor B Never liked me from day one, hates the world, her shadow and pretty much everything but according to fb is so popular and the life and sole of the party. She might say hello one day and blank you the next.
Didn’t see her from one year to the next which was great. But we dared to have a bbq in the garden when sun out after work (6pm) and went off slamming doors windows and had a major strop (mid 40’s) I assume she had washing out but she doesn’t talk to us and we can’t see in her garden. When we moved here we tried to be civil & curtious when doing house up but she just constantly found something/anything to complain about.

IMO an amazing house is terrible with bad neighbours. And an ok house can be amazing with good neighbours.

Unless you posted too soon... none of that sounds worth moving for. Just ignore and get on with your life

oh and there’s no chance of them ever moving!

Posted too soon

Obviously money is an issue but if you think you could make it work and the neighbours are upsetting you that much, then maybe have a look moving?

I don't see why this is a problem for you.

Neighbour A is not a friend (big deal).
Neighbour B slammed her doors and windows and stropped off (big deal).

Can't you just ignore them??

We have planning on house which neighbor A actually wanted us to do as she didn’t want us to move but then put objections in and thinks she will stop access. She saw plans and discussed it and was happy. So problem now is to stay we have to spend in excess of £50k to make the house big enough. This was always fine with us were happy to put extension on but wondering if spending more money on a property is worth it if I can’t enjoy it.

If you were saying you had to put up with lots of noise or antisocial behaviour I’d say life’s too short and move house.
But in your situation I’d say - just ignore them all and enjoy your house and the financial freedom of being mortgage free.

Neighbours ignoring you sounds almost ideal?! No loud parties, drug taking, anti social behaviour? Not understanding the problem really, it could be a LOT worse.

Although this is not my thread, I have found some good points to help me come to a decision. There is a lot to be said for quiet neighbours even if it because they are ignoring us. Fights drug taking and constant partying is something else.
Thanks

I have never been overly friendly with any neighbour in any house I have in.

I nod and smile if we pass and stick a Christmas card through the door and that’s about it other than taking in the odd parcel.

Not liking the neighbours wouldn’t bother me at all as long as there weren’t slinging matches over the back fence.

It seems to me your issue is really extend or move and that really depends on what else is available to buy in your area.

They have made noise in past but that seems to have settled down, hopefully that continues. We are the noisy ones according to her complaints but we have two young kids which I was always worried the crying would annoy them.
We did house up but stopped work at 7 as they had a child (9ish).
She even complained about me cutting grass.

It does seem I’m being sensitive and I could end up with a lot worse.

This is a bit baffling.

You want to move because your neighbours don't talk to you?

I see my neighbours "A" about once a month max, and just say "Hi" The other neighbours I wouldn't know if I fell over them, so we definitely don't speak.

Why do you feel you have to be so involved with them? Not being funny here, genuinely confused.

I’m more worried about the trouble they can cause
