Any one know anything about the law regards noisey neighbers.

Mine is a Single female 25/40 with 2 noisey dogs.  I tolerate them as it is security for her and early warning of prowlers for me as I can hear them barking.

Since she split her husband about 5 years ago she has had her problems, but the last year or so she has taken to do her washing that ends up doing the spin cycle at 3am.  She hoovers and moves furniture arround till 11pm.  But tonight takes the biscuit.  She has just got the hammer out and started doing DIY.

Other antics include uring the orbital sander whislt decorating and it resonating through the walls up till midnight at times.

Any advice would be appreciated.

A CIVIL knock on the door to start with.

As with all these, a polite word (over a cup of tea?) has to be the first step. She may not be aware just how much the noise comes through or, as she is single and living there alone, she doesn't realise how what she is doing and the time she is doing it could be seen.

I would start by going around and asking her to be a bit more considerate

Definately doesn't sound like the time to be thinking about the legal status - the best approach will be a friendly chat.

It may be something as simple as she's not aware she can be heard next door, etc....

(Our next door neighbour definately doesn't realise this - her bedroom backs onto ours and we hear some VERY interesting noises!!!)

(By the way, she is a lesbian teacher   )

That wasn't a subject we had in school when I was a lad

As far as noisey neighbours go.......i used to have one till he moved....used to like diy.....i once hammered on his front door....letting him know it was 11pm on a sunday evening....and not the time to be doing diy (he was drilling a hole in the ajoining wall at the time.....terrace house!)

He listened and stopped   so you could try that

Begs the question - does she take classes or give them??

simply curious, you understand.....

[tmx]

try an informal chat 1st

i have a problem neighbour who lets her dogs s**t in the garden and doesnt pick it up and deliberately plays loud music at 7am to wake my daughter up!

i am now in the process of getting the fat idiot evicted

FYI PCSO's are useful for sorting selfish neighbours out

[hotel21]

PiP - fisrt try the conversation route, however daft that sounds.  Then if it makes no difference, contact the Police.  Cease and Desist type lawyers letters etc are a waste of your cash and carry no legal weight.

Night time OOF meet to be arranged ot James place very soon?

[hotel21]

.... and maintain a log of time, date, the type of noise, your actions, when you called the Police and their response, etc...

Been there and done that.  She is quite calculating and I feel she likes playing the victim which is why I have ignored her till now.

I once had knock on the door at 2.30am just after her husband left.  Was a really hot night and she sits in her kitchen with the door wide open.  Well a mouse entered her house from the field accros the back of our estate.  So as I say at 2.30am she came round and blamed me for it.  2 days later I got a visit from enviromental health who obviously found my house to be mouse free.

She is just a poo stirring gossip that has far too much time on her hands.  After the verbal I have had in the past for being polite and not swearing at her when she is swearing at me then I want nothing more to do with her verbally.  But would like to know where I stand regards the law.
