We moved in August 2021.
Mutual exchange via council (they arranged it all. I didn't have to find a place)
Since being here we've had numerous random knocking on the door asking for previous tenant. Saying some pretty diabolical things. Seems to be a kind of vigilante group.
Ended up getting the safer neighbourhood team round as it was getting a bit much.
They recommended a ring doorbell, among other things. We asked the police if this was OK as we have a shared porch.
Were advised that as long as it was flat facing directly up the pathway (also shared) we were fine.
Finally got one installed last week.
Next door neighbour (who we have nothing to do with, mainly because she was very stand offish at first, and more so now that they've taken to having domestics on the daily) has said her landlord isn't happy as he owns the property and part owns the path. Apparently we may be getting a letter about it soon.
The doorbell only shows the porch, the path and maybe a tiny corner of the neighbour's drive. (There's a wall between path and drive)
There's nowhere else we can put it. The porch would block any view if we put it on the other side and we can't attach it to the porch itself as it's just brick so nowhere to power it.
It doesn't show the house, the other front door, we can't see neighbour at her front door etc.
Also have got it audio activated so not listening in to any conversations.
I feel relatively secure as I did query all this with the police when we installed it, but it appears that the landlord is going to try and make us remove it from what she said.
I'm awaiting call backs from CAB and the safer neighbourhood team to clarify if I've done anything wrong.
So AIBU to leave it where it is until I've heard back.
