Do I need to declare a withdrawn noise complaint on the TA6?

Do I need to declare this on the TA6 form?

Really ridiculous and I don’t want to ask the solicitor! My husband has no idea and he will be so mad.

Last year when having friends round for drinks in the garden, a few houses down had someone playing the recorder (I think) for an hour or two. We found it funny at first because we have all been there, but after a while it was starting to get really annoying and showed no sign of stopping.

A few wines in and my friend says you can report things like that on the council website. We have a look and go through the form. At the end I click cancel and closed the page. I obviously had no intention of making the complaint. A few minutes later I get an email confirmation for my submission.

I log onto the council website and there it is. I click on it and it gives me the option to close it so i do.

but I don’t want it on my records so I email them immediately and explain it was submitted by mistake and can they remove it. They have marked it as submitted in error but it’s still there.

Do I have to declare this now we are selling?

There never was any dispute.
it was submitted in error
and if we put no and for some reason it comes back on us, if the original email of me explaining it was submitted in error enough to cover us?

it’s so ridiculous and I hadn’t thought about it until we have decided to put our house on the market this year

No - only disputes have to be declared and this wasn't actually a dispute.

I wouldn’t worry about this at all. It’s for more serious ongoing disputes or very disruptive or unreasonable neighbours.

You only need to declare it if there is a paper trail between you and a specific neighbour and/or agency. Its not as though there was an ongoing dispute between you and the recorder player.

This was never meant for petty "over the fence" personal differences with a neighbour. More for serious noise, boundary or anti social behaviour disputes where outside agencies (police/council/environmental services etc) have become formally involved.. People on Mumsnet worry far too much that a few cross words with a neighbour are going to kybosh their chances of selling.
