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?😭😒

We have good neighbours both sides. Our adjoining neighbours are lovely and quiet with nice kids and we’ll often have a chat in the front, and our neighbours the other side are great too - there isn’t a garden tool they don’t have so they’re pretty useful as well!

Where we lived previously we had lovely neighbours although the kids used to drive me mad & I really don’t miss them at all! Here our address is a Close but we’re actually on the main road & our immediate neighbours are unfortunately not exactly friendly! The guy has never spoken a word to us in over 5 years! Unbelievably rude! His wife can sometimes be quite nice but mostly she blanks us. It doesn’t help that DD14 is neurodivergent & has had some major meltdowns. The police have been called a couple of times. We’ve explained the situation, apologised & bought flowers even but I just don’t think they get it.

Really lovely neighbours. About five houses, all have keys to each other's houses for holiday cat feeding and garden watering etc. We all cooperated with shopping during lockdown, the young children could knock on any door for help. If someone is mowing their front lawn they often do a couple more. One porch has been designated the drop off point for parcels if recipients are out. The porch owner just comes round later with the parcels. Another neighbour cleans her windows as a thank you. Best thing is we are all anti monarchists so no risk of a street party.

We all joke about never being able to move in case we let somebody not so lovely into the road.

We've got nice neighbours, but my brother once had a problem with his. He moved in the end.

I'm end of terrace so only one immediate neighbour. She's lovely. Makes me wonder if I'm the problem neighbour 😁

Mum2jenny · 01/05/2023 20:16

Never had a problem with neighbours wherever we have lived.

mondaytosunday · 01/05/2023 20:19

I had an issue with my last neighbour over the fence, but it was a one off and I just avoided him for 8 years (easy enough).
Currently in a terrace and both sides are fine. One side is a rental and have had three different tenants in the 18 months I've been here, middle ones had barky dogs but were only here six months.

Sceptre86 · 01/05/2023 20:32

Ours are nice but we don't have lots to do witg them. We exchange pleasantries and take in parcels. I'm completely OK with that. We have our own drive, defined boundary and are in a detached house so thankfully no parking issues.

The neighbours are lovely. A single mother of 4 of which 2 have ADHD. There is some noise from time to time but nothing major. Youngest child mows our front lawn!

TheNoodlesIncident · 01/05/2023 20:46

In my previous house (terrace), neighbour on one side was lovely, other side were always a bit... cool. Not hostile, but definitely cool. No idea why. Other people in the road were friendly and chatty, so no problem there.

In this house (semi-det), everyone is nice and reasonably friendly. We take in parcels and put wheelie bins back, that sort of thing. All very amicable. Our NDN through the wall is lovely. We are friends and go out to dinner reasonably often and she lets me do her garden. It's bliss.

I hope nothing changes. We are due to have new people soon, I'm hoping they're very nice and don't want to plant Leylandii along the border...

Typicalof · 01/05/2023 20:48

At this house, the neighbour are lovely. One even offered to babysit. I haven't taken the offer up because we are fairly new in this area. And she offered the first time she meet the children.

BoobyDazzler · 01/05/2023 20:50

We’ve got on with all our neighbours and always have, but we’re not inconsiderate arseholes and none of them have been either, which helps!

MissConductUS · 01/05/2023 20:51

We're borderline suburban/rural and have no neighbors close enough to see their houses.

It's lovely. 😁

purpleme12 · 01/05/2023 21:00

There are some people who will turn little things into massive things and an excuse to hound someone out of a home. They're the ones who should be in a detached house from the start

Scroobydoo · 01/05/2023 21:17

Very very quiet old lady on the attached side.

Second home on the other side, so it's vacant most of the year anyway.

Bliss!

Scroobydoo · 01/05/2023 21:18

Although I have had my fair share of horrendous neighbours (the mumsnet trifecta of large bully breed dog, inflatable hot tub, and tiki bar in tiny terraced garden)

Merryoldgoat · 01/05/2023 21:19

Nope. Not one. We are a married couple with two autistic children.

Neighbours one side are retired in their 70s, other side are a slightly older couple with teenage children.

We all get on nicely, take in packages, chat and are respectful.
