Anyone not got any neighbour problems?

[girlfriend44]

Neighbour problems seem a popular thing. Just wondered is there anyone who dosent have a neighbour problem of somesort?

We've had our fair share
Parking, fences, noise, do you ever worry about neighbour problems escalating.
Remember the young couple who were stabbed by their neighbour over parking. He got into their house and killed them.
Parking seems to be the worse one.

Does anyone worry about things getting out of hand?😭😒

Not had any problems with mine. The ones joined onto us can sometimes be loud but we're not exactly quiet (we're a family of 7) i can't really hear them through my own noise but when my mum comes round she often comments on the music next door and I have to listen to hear it 🤦🏻‍♀️ the other side (not attached) is a widower and her dad who she's looking after, and she's lovely. I don't know the others on the street I just smile and say hello if I see them but I very much keep myself to myself. Apparently there's dealers on the street but I can't say I've noticed anything I'm too busy to notice what others are doing.

You do. But they're just very very far away!

Mine are great and I appreciate them for being so lovely

The young couple lived near me, I actually went to college with him. So desperately sad.

I had horrible neighbours in my last house, they were absolutely awful to us. We moved and my neighbours here are wonderful, the difference it's made to my mental health is astronomical.

Current neighbour is lovely! She's renting however and her landlord is a bit of an arsehole, they have access over part of our driveway and we own much of the land around the house so it causes friction, BUT the resident is fantastic!
The other side is a fancy apartment block and they're pretty quiet, the garden area is next to our house so it's very quiet, although I could smell weed in our en suite, so think somebody is keen on smoking in that area 😵‍💫

My whole street is pretty good. Dead end street so no through traffic. Know most of them and the rest we wave at each other. My DS is at home on his own a bit as I work and he could go to any house in the street and they’d help him if needed.

At the moment,my neighbours are fine. I live in a low-rise block of flats,4 properties in it. I live on the second and I'm quite friendly with my neighbour opposite. The flat underneath me has been empty for ages,so no issues there,and the people in the flat opposite that are friendly enough but keep themselves to themselves. However,I did endure 12 years of hellish neighbours in the flat underneath me, between 1999 and 2011. He was a drug dealer and she was,I'm pretty sure,a prostitute. Loud parties every weekend,barking dogs,DIY at all hours of the day and night. It was a glorious day when they moved out. I appreciate all the more now that my neighbours are not troublesome.

Road that backs onto our street though has some very annoying yappy dogs that yap for hours on end 😡

Most people don't have nightmare neighbours.
However there is a huge variation of how bad these nightmare neighbours can be.
Some still hate living next door to neighbours who they can hear but are still nowhere near loud enough to be doing anti social noise. And they class them as nightmare neighbours.
We have nightmare neighbours to the point where my child has been scared to be in her garden for some months and the police are involved. Many other things obviously.
There are many posts I've read on this site complaining about neighbours though where I've thought I'd gladly swap yours for mine.

One side are lovely. The other side are paranoid hoarders.

No problems with neighbours really ever only a teeny problem when we moved out of a house and rented it out before we could sell it on, the nice neighbour who lived there during our time sold on the neighbouring house and the new owner pulled up the hedge between the houses and got stroppy when we wouldn’t go halves on a fence but we just told her no and then just left her to it. We didn’t live there anymore so we weren’t remotely bothered. Our neighbours over the last 18 years of various homeownership have ranged from great friends to just great neighbours all good.

Current neighbours are lovely, previous ones were noisy and a pain.

You reminded me of a flat I once lived in where the sound of lovemaking each night was so loud it drove me mental. I asked a friend for advice and she said to sit tight because relationships built on sex never last. Within a month of her prediction I heard a very loud argument in which the woman accused the bloke of cheating- I was trying not to listen but it was so loud. After that there were no more banging noises, no more arguments. Bliss.

Lived here for 10 years. Best neighbours I’ve ever had.

I think a lot of it is about perspective.

I would say no, we don't have neighbour issues but I think some people would be miserable with our neighbours

On one side, it's a hostel for recovering addicts, there is often a lot of shouting.

The other side often have people round in the evening in the garden till late, not loud music but loud chatting.

But the noise doesn't really bother us - we have young children so it's not like we're quiet either. In some ways I like that we have fairly noisy neighbours, it means that I don't fret about our noise..

Definitely agree that it's about perspective after having read many posts about neighbours on here!

Very lucky at the moment with neighbours, despite being in a property thats joined to multiple others. We have no issues/ noise at all really.

I have had lots of neighbour problems in the past though. It was about time I got lucky!

Ours are great. On one side is an elderly couple who advise dh on which plants are weeds and which are daffodils (we are clueless so the help is much appreciated!). The other side is my old chemistry teacher and his wife. Also lovely but it took me a couple of years to stop calling him Sir!

DH is at war with a neighbour over something ridiculously petty. The neighbour is a sandwich short of a picnic so it does make me nervous.

Ours were just low level lack of basic manners for years - allowing visitors to park in our spaces and then getting arsey when we asked them to move (quite clear on the plans who owns what), allowing their trees to get hugely overgrown and then getting narky with us when we told them we'd be cutting them back on our side, when they did cut the trees allowing all the branches to drop on our side and not offering to clear up, carrying out noisy building works with no notice.

Then it escalated to punching a hole through the party wall in the attic to carry out a loft conversion. No notice under the party wall act. We tried to resolve politely and were rebuffed. We ended up having to threaten an injunction at which point they obviously, finally, took professional advice which presumably told them they were entirely in the wrong. He is now being sickly nice to us. She is litterally huffing and tutting at our friendly hellos.

Yes so sorry that our desire not to have the structual integrity of our house comprised has inconvenienced you.

I don't even know my neighbours and never speak to them so if we have issues they haven't told me

We've had so many neighbours in the past that we have disliked and now it's heavenly because one side is a graveyard and the other side is a couple so lovely that I'm almost scared to speak to them in case I mess it up and they think I'm weird. I'm doing okay so far but we've only been here 18 months.

Yup - everything was fine til new neighbours moved in. You are never truly safe unless you live in a house on its own in the middle of no where.

LOL, i am very blessed i suppose. Crazy neighbour donwstairs but he thinks that noise kills people so he keeps very very very quiet :)

Never had a problem with a neighbour. I guess when I lived in a flat I sometimes had noisy upstairs neighbours, but it never got out of hand and I largely accepted it as flat life.
