New neighbours noise over sensitive and got a bad feeling.

[Covidfallout2]

Lived in my flat for 13 years. The property next to me is a 4 bud house - not massive but a traditional Yorkshire terrace house.

6 months ago my old neighbour moved. He was lovely, very quiet and lived alone. House has been empty until 2 weeks ago. I don’t know if I am used to living quietly or if next door are too noisy.

They moved in, made lots of noise through the walls and I met the mum a few days later. She seemed to overshare loads. Told me there are 7 kids and 2 adults and 2 dogs living there whilst waiting for a council house.

They had to leave their last council house property as they were not on the lease. Got moved to temporary accommodation and asked to leave due to noise. Now in this house but the landlord doesn’t know about the dogs.

All I hear is kids shouting, then adults shouting and doors slamming. I work at home and the noise got that loud people on my meeting could hear it. I have asked her to be a bit quiet. She said sorry and went and yelled at her kids to shut up, we don’t want to be chucked out another house. Then kept yelling for them to be quiet. The irony. This then started a fight amongst the kids and lots of door slamming.

They also have in 2 weeks fly tipped 3 sofas on the pavement not outside their house. But close. They denied it but spotted doing it. Not using bins so rubbish is all over their yard. The husband very creepily hit on me.

What can I do? I expect some form of noise , especially with families. I have asked her to be quieter but this resulted in world war 3! The kids don’t go to bed either.

Report to the lettings agency. Bound to want to move them on re the dogs...

Report flytipping to the council.

The more effort you put into reporting and recording issues the quicker it'll get sorted. But it takes over your life and you'll feel crap. But you're going to feel crap anyway so look forward positively about dealing with it.

If possible try to find out if they are tenants with a direct contract with a private landlord, or the property is leased by the local council.
If they are council tenants in temporary accommodation then they might only be there a short time, and the council could move them out if they are breaching any terms imposed.
If they rent direct from the landlord then he or the letting agent may be willing to speak to them, but there are very few circumstances that allow for termination of the contract within the first 6 months.
Anti social behaviour is one ground, but it has to be extreme, normally involving action by the council or police.
You could ask the local council for advice regarding noise nuisance. It does vary between councils but some will provide noise recording equipment. If it is very bad they may take action.

Report & log everything. I'd want them out & pronto.

Report, report, report. Report everything, every single time. It's the only way. Contact your local councillor too, they can often help move things along.

Good luck OP.

Agree

Good luck OP.

Thanks all. But they are trying to be quiet. It’s asking them to be quiet seems to make it worse as the mum shouts, kids shout back and noise gets louder. They did move the rubbish into an extra black bin they acquired.

How do find out who the landlord is?

You can find out who owns the property by requesting details from the land registry. It costs £3.

I am not sure how quickly the register is updated if it has only recently been purchased though.

I had barely even seen my neighbours 2 weeks after moving in, surprised you know this much about them. Who tells their new neighbours they were evicted from their last place because of noise?
