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.

My only advice would be to market in winter so the neighbour noise isn't so obvious to viewers. You won't change them, you probably won't get far with the council, so you need to bite the bullet and go. I'm sorry, some people are shitters.

you have to move. Been there and I’m sorry. I don’t regret moving

If you're lucky some of their noisy friends might buy your house?!

This might be a stupid question but have you actually asked them to be quiet?

You never know they might not be malicious but just totally oblivious

I moved from noisy neighbours and I believe that noisy people know they are being noisy and selfish but they don't care.

I tried it all with one side (who woke me in the early hours each weekend and twice in the week) and nothing worked.

With the other side who played really loud music from 2 until midnight I asked nicely and then eventually went mad at them. That worked for a day or two.

But I learnt that both sides hated anyone else being noisy or waking them up. Hypocrites.

I was so upset and it broke my health.

This is going to get you answers where it looks like you'll have to be the one to move.

Its becoming more obvious we're in an age where far to much spawn has been punted out by the inconsiderate areshole types....possibly pushing on for it being second generation spawn now and in reality it's inbred so they'll never change their ways.

No amount of asking if the noise could be turned down a bit once gone 11pm gets you anywhere, It's not really in their mindset to think of others and consider how it may affect them and their families.

Sorry not much help but there's still a good few of us that feel your pain.

Not yet. We are going to, but we are so angry about it right now, we are likely to flip out on them. Looking really for any advise on who others have managed similar situations.

Flipping out may work! Being reasonable didn't work for me but the quiet couple of days did when I flipped out.
