I’m having a lot of trouble with the person who bought the flat above me. He’s a developer/builder and carried out a full renovation.
his lease stipulates that he has to put carpets down and my freeholder and has asked to do this too. However he has repeatedly avoided the question despite me complaining about sound transferring through.
he’s now finished the work and it’s clear he hasn’t put carpets down and I can hear people walking above. It’s very disruptive. He’s saying that the work is done, he wanted to carry out an acoustic test but I didn’t reply (I’ve made it clear that I don’t believe the carpeting is dependent on whether he chooses to carry out an acoustic test and what that says) and that he won’t be placing carpets.
im a leaseholder and own the flat below.
what recourse do I have? I think my freeholder is fed up with him but not sure if he will do anything.
it’s causing me a lot of stress. If you have any advice, I’d be grateful.
