Hi, first time poster so please forgive me if this is in the wrong category.
I live in an upstairs maisonette, worth around £130k. The flat downstairs is occupied by a woman (around 50 years old), with mental health problems, is sectioned under the mental health act usually around once per year. She and I have had a lot of run ins over the years where I have reported her to the police god knows how many times, and the council, both did very little to support me, and all we accomplished over a year of reporting was my neighbour was given a community protection warning about her behaviour. This was to cease verbal abuse, drug using and screaming/shouting in the street and in her flat (noise complaint essentially). She is very paranoid and believes there is a mass murderer living close by who has killed women, and she shouts about him all day long in her flat and out in the street.
I haven't reported her in around 2 years, firstly due to a lack of resolution by the police and council, but also her behaviour towards me can become increasingly aggressive when she is reported.
I have past email threads going into detail about her staring at my CCTV holding a knife at 4am. That's probably the worst incident I reported and was over two years ago.
As it stands currently, I have not had any major issues in nearly two years. We are by no means friends, we simply ignore each other and she keeps herself to herself.
She is very nice to all the other neighbours, I presume it's because she doesn't feel threatened by them as they haven't reported her (that she knows of!).
I am so worried that no one will be prepared to buy my home due to all of the issues I've had and reported officially in emails to authorities.
Essentially I am asking for advice on how to sell my home? I don't need advice on how to get rid of her - I have tried everything! She is not in council housing, it is privately owned, her landlord is family and is unwilling to help me, the council will pressure them to resolve issues but nothing will force them to move her and so reporting it only causes more grief.
I don't want to sell crazy low but I know I will have to offer a huge discount for this. If anyone has any advice I'd be mega grateful.
Thank you
