Today is the first time I have reacted to her, I have been trying to keep calm. Today I have had my doorbell rung countless times by her visitors kids and running off. Rubbish in my garden, my garden shingle thrown around by her kids. We have 1 allocated parking space each, she is currently taking up 4.There was a bin lid left on my front door step, one in my back garden. They are smoking weed in the back garden. It is a tiny 3 bed terrace and there have been 5 adults and 6 kids in there for the last 2 nights.

They had a party all night last night. I got up for work at 5am. Hence my mood, I guess. I have had a go at them for leaving rubbish in my garden and thrown it back and had a go at them for ringing the doorbell constantly.

They have 3 dogs, 2 of which bark constantly when they are not there.

There are most definetely issues with welfare of the 2 resident children.

The house is tenanted and whilst I know the landlord and could contact him, I am mindful that I am a single woman living next to them with a dog.

If I don't escalate anything, can I sell up and not declare any neighbour problems. No-one else appears to be complaining about her. It affects me more than anyone else because of the estate layout.

My neighbour is a similarly party arsehole. I eventually grassed her to the landlord and she has been advised any more shit and she’ll be out.

she hates me now 🤣

If you do report, keep everything documented in black and white , not only will this back you up but support the landlord too.

Either...........

Say nothing and move, or
Hit her with everything at the same time BUT you will have to declare it when you sell

I am guessing these neighbours don't listen to reason?
Are you definitely able to sell? If so, I would focus on doing that immediately. Ensure there no sale sign up and get agent to not put front of house pics up on the website. I think you need to be discreet about it.

I would tell SS about the welfare issues with the kids for a start.

Imagine if u bought a house and u ended up with these neighbours because the seller didn’t tell you?!!! I’d deal with them first and hopefully the landlord will get rid. Document everything. Evidence to the council. Speak to landlord

What a strange co-incidence that my thread was commented on tonight. My neighbour has literally just moved out.

she ended up upsetting absolutely everyone and the landlord evicted her after much pressure from the neighbours. I also reported her to social services and the police although very little seemed to change.

I feel for anyone with nuisance neighbours, it makes your life a misery. The other next door neighbour has had to start taking anti depressants because of the stress.

The landlord will now put the house up for sale. Hopefully somebody decent will buy it and enjoy the neighbourhood as respectfully as everyone else.
