AIBU to ask if I can report my neighbour's bright blue house?

[Katey83]

I live in a terraced house. My neighbours have painted the back of their house bright blue (think swimming pool blue / like the Mikanos blue). It is horrible and looms over my garden. It’s really going to spoil my enjoyment of my space to have to look at this every day. I spoke to the wife earlier this morning and said it was not to my taste and would they consider changing and she said ‘the beige of your house isn’t to my taste but it’s your house. This is my house.’ And shut the door in my face. WIBU to report them to the council? Can I even do so? Surely you can’t just paint any offensive colour and expect neighbours to live alongside it?

Do you have a problem with the sky, OP?

What constitutes an eyesore though is often a matter of personal taste. Your neighbour could well consider your beige house an eyesore.

This thread is hilarious thanks for the laugh OP!

😂

Maybe they didn't like it and chose to change it.

My neighbours have a back yard filled with rubbish and broken furniture, there are about 10 of them crammed into a two up two down, they deal drugs and are usually shouting at each other until gone midnight. A blue house would be as nothing...

Well perhaps the Op's neighbours will be inspired by the blue house

Sounds gorgeous, it would really lift my spirits to see something like that

😆 Wouldn't you like to know?!

From what I heard that wasn’t the case.

You can ask mumsnet to check this and you will see it’s not true. I am being roasted on here and ok I asked for it. I don’t like blue. But I don’t like being accused of underhandedness by posting from an alt account.
