New neighbours 🙄

[Helpmelmaooo]

Hi people 😬
I live in a quietish road of terraced houses. Have been here for 6 months or so no problems aside from my alcoholic next door neighbours but they’ve now moved and been replaced by a nice family.
On Thursday a young lady moved into the house directly opposite me. I’m not too sure who she has moved in with but I think it may just be her. Since then her and her friends are constantly hanging around outside the houses shouting and generally making noise. Last night she hosted a party from around 7pm which lasted until 4.30am. I saw around 50 different people (no exaggeration) going in and out of the house, hanging around in the road and lots of cars full of them too. There was a huge amount of noise and my young baby was woken up 5 (!!) times, ended up sat in the dining room until the party finished so we could go to bed. An ambulance was called for absolutely no reason (there was a girl being sick in the road and they were over dramatic calling 999). The lights flashed in my windows and again woke my child up. Today there have been about 10 different friends sat on the walls outside the houses and about 5 cars parked outside (this is a small road with probably only about 10 parking spaces each side).
I feel as though these people were acting like bloody animals, have no respect for their new neighbours and probably feel as though they own the road now! I also feel that this will be an ongoing problem. Would I be unreasonable to make a complaint to their landlord? And also how do I even get the landlords details? I have had a look online but I can only see that the house was last sold in 1995.

Wait till tomorrow and give over and speak to her. You will then get an idea of whether it was a one off housewarming.

I would give the benefit of the doubt just once for this weekend. It was probably a house warming that got out of hand. I would absolutely complain if it happened again.

Wow, young girl has a party ! This is so boring, you sound like a bit of a trouble maker to me. Are you saying you and your family sat up til 4.30 waiting for the party to finish to go to bed ? How do you know what the ambulance was called for initially ? Reporting her for having a party on a sat night and then obsessing over whether its going to be a regular thing is mad. 'Overhearing' that she has already been reported and now you want to stick the boot in even further sounds incredibly nasty.

I was under the impression that a housewarming party wasn't usually quite so loud and didn't necessarily end with someone vomiting in the street (and an ambulance being called).

I don't understand this attitude that everyone acts like this and you're "nasty" if you dare complain. It's simply not true. Not everyone does act this way (that is, stupidly and utterly selfishly, displaying no self-control or respect for their neighbors), no matter how young or old they are.

I wouldn't hesitate to complain, OP. If it's truly only a one-off, that will become apparent with time, and she'll get off with just a warning. If she makes a habit of it, you'll have started the ball rolling to get some help in dealing with it.

@thefifthmovement - 4:30am!! On a residential street! That’s what nightclubs are for!

People hanging about outside would on it's own annoy me. I would report to council, they will find the landlord. I know people are saying it's only a housewarming but with all the other nonsense it seems like they are starting as they mean to go on.

Can you talk to her? You can say you overheard her on the phone and wasn’t happy yourself but presume it’s a house warming party and thus won’t happen again.

if it was recent check & see if any history of renting agent BUT it is incredibly difficult for individual landlords to get tenants out for this reason especially as she has only just started her tenancy - But the agent might warn her to be careful & the landlord might threaten a section 8 eviction & if she continues to be a problem it will need you & your neighbours to keep a log -

@longtimelurkerhelen fine the landlord? imagine if they were council tenants do you think that would work? Inform the landlord - they can write to the tenant - but how do you suggest they stop them?? Apparently (Oh yes just remembered this!) they can look on line & find owner via land registry website which if their house is registered (not all are) you can down load their details??? (£3)

@mumwon

Not sure what you are asking/saying.

Thefifthmovement are you the neighbour?

@Thefifthmovement and this is why parts of the UK are anti-social shit holes.
People thinking they can behave however they want and screw Every one else, and reasonable people are the bad guys for not wanting to live next to noisy scumbags.

why should a landlord be fined? first if they don't know or are not told what a tenant does how can they stop them? Second, it is incredibly difficult to get rid of tenants when have just started their tenancy - you cant use a section 21 & section 8 for antisocial behaviour is hard to prove in the court as a reason that judges will accept for eviction.
pp have asked about names or addresses of actual owners of properties & although I am not sure if the home address is available (I think it might be) if you look on line on the land registry & the property is registered - not all are- you maybe able to find owner. Police can access this site to warn landlords but I don't think they always do. People assume that landlords can just role in & tell tenants off & control their behaviour & get rid of the easily because of it - as most landlords would tell you - I wish!!! - if a landlord deliberately allows or encourages their behaviour or allows illegal acts to go knowingly (ie selling drugs which is proven) than yes but the point is proving it & being told. So please do find which agent rents the property & do find the landlord because most will confront the tenant & give the written warning but be aware their hands are often tied - by the very laws which you might expect would protect the neighbours.

@mumwon

I said find not FINE.

Neighbours:.
She stands outside making loud dramatic mobile phone calls with speakerphone on every evening, seems to court attention; if anyone is out there she is delighted to air her ego.
I heard 'them' having sex incredibly loudly.It did actually sound like a pig being murdered so I believe she is an exhibitionist.
I banged a couple of doors because it really was ridiculously loud and groany.I never complained to the landlord because I just could not be bothered.Possibly someone else may have... who knows, it was insanely grunty.
She is now in a snit with me and made a complaint and lied too!

So now I wish I HAD complained.

Complain complain complain. Any noise after 11, call the police.

Another one saying give her the benefit of the doubt.
Yes that party would have been a massive pain in the arse and you’re position I’d be fuming at the time too but if it’s a one off that got out of control there is no real harm done.
People have already complained there’s no need to add to it just yet.
Obviously if the noise continues you should report it to the council but for now try to relax.
Unless something actually happens you’re causing yourself unnecessary upset worrying about it.

You can pay £6 or so to get the details of who owns it from Land Registry.

It's actually £3.00 and take just a few minutes.

@longtimelurkerhelen sorry miss read! as you may gather this is a very sore point - we are good landlords & try to work with our tenants over the years but to our horror when we worked with a tenant for a couple of years who was long term & got into debt - we finally had to evict ie section 21 - only to find out from the neighbours a real horror story involving the police who neither informed us or the agent - I have however read on landlords sites the issues other landlords have had with evicting people under these conditions or even threatening them with eviction - I think such antisocial behaviour is something that should be taken more seriously & the fact that the neighbours (who are lovely & didn't realize that tenant was not owner) where treated this way horrifies me - agent & I have tried to find (& hope we have) a good tenant who will take care & be law abiding for the neighbours sake! But what else can you do? people can own property & be obnoxious & council landlords have the same problems.

Google noise nuisance in your local council, they will probably have a team who come out at any time and record the noise and can take enforcement action like taking away sound systems and asbos. Complain every single time it happens and get the neighbours to do so too.

I had new neighbours who had one mad party like that when they moved in but luckily have been fine ever since, I hope it is the same for you.

Wow, young girl has a party ! This is so boring, you sound like a bit of a trouble maker to me

Get a life you selfish moron. If you think it's okay to keep a street awake because you're 'entitled to have fun' then you're the one that 's a 'bit of a trouble maker'.

I’m not sure how I’m being nasty when I have felt safe and lived in a quiet road up until now and within days of them moving in there has been people vomiting outside my house, multiple cars full of people and emergency services called. I know what the ambulance was for because they were bloody loud, I could see the girl being sick and then the same girl was put on the ambulance and then returned. Yes I did stay up until 4.30am as they made it impossible for my child to go to sleep. I’m not saying that a housewarming is a problem, I’ve had them myself but not to this extent and it’s the fact that I now have multiple people shouting and hollering outside my house at all hours of the day (not just the party!). I will let this one go but will be finding the landlords details for next time and I’m sure there will be a next time!

Also they were playing music but it wasn’t hugely loud so that’s not my problem, it was the actual behaviour of the people themselves

ALso for all the people saying talk to her, I’m not really enthusiastic about that as they are obviously people tha can’t be reasoned with, and although this is a quiet road it’s not a very nice area and she always has 10 plus friends with her and like I said i have got a young baby to look after

Go tell her straight, inform her you will let the weekend slide because she just moved in, but if in the future there is any repeat of it you will record the full thing and report to the Police, Council and Landlord.
