We’ve lived in our semi-detached house for 15 years in a quiet, respectful village. It’s always been peaceful, until recently. A couple with two children moved in next door, and since then it’s been constant disruption.
They’ve installed a pool and are out in the garden all day, every weekend, with friends. Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday they have people over, kids screaming, adults shouting, and loud socialising that carries straight into our house. Last night it went on until midnight and kept our own young children awake.
We’ve not been able to use our patio or garden at all this year because it’s just so so loud. Even inside, with windows closed, the noise is relentless. They’re acting like they live in the middle of nowhere, no awareness that they’re in a semi and attached to another family.
We know other neighbours are frustrated too, but we’re getting the worst of it as we’re directly next door. We’re now seriously considering moving, but stamp duty is extortionate and it’s maddening to even be in this position.
Has anyone dealt with something similar? We don’t want a huge fallout, but we feel like we’re being pushed out of our own home. Any advice, especially from anyone who’s handled noisy neighbours and actually got somewhere would be massively appreciated.
