Selling your home and neighbour issues: what you need to tell buyers
When you sell a property in England or Wales, you must answer questions about your home honestly. This obligation arises from the Misrepresentation Act 1967 and common law principles governing residential property transactions. The questions include those about your neighbours and any disputes you may have experienced.
Some situations obviously require disclosure, while others are less straightforward. This article explains what sellers typically need to declare about neighbours, what counts as a dispute, and how to approach the process.
The TA6 form
During conveyancing, your solicitor will ask you to complete a TA6 form (the Seller's Property Information Form). It contains questions about the property, including a section on disputes and complaints with neighbours and boundary disagreements. You must answer truthfully based on your own knowledge.
Leaving sections blank or answering dishonestly can create problems. If a buyer later discovers you failed to disclose a significant issue, they may have grounds for legal action. Courts have found in favour of buyers where sellers knowingly provided false information or deliberately omitted details that would have influenced the purchasing decision.
If you are unsure how to answer any question, speak to your solicitor. They can advise on what needs to be included and help you word answers appropriately.

Not every disagreement needs declaring. A brief conversation about noise that was quickly resolved would not typically require disclosure. A dispute is more likely to exist if any of the following have happened:
- You have contacted your neighbour in writing about a problem
- You have made a formal complaint to the local council
- You have involved a solicitor or taken legal advice
- You have contacted the police about antisocial behaviour
- You have used a mediation service
- There has been an ongoing or unresolved disagreement affecting your relationship with the neighbour
The key factor is often whether the issue has been formalised. A verbal exchange that went no further is less likely to require disclosure than a written complaint or third party involvement. If problems materially affected your enjoyment of the property, consider whether a reasonable buyer would want to know. "Significant" generally means issues that persisted over time, required third party intervention, or resulted in documented correspondence.
Common examples requiring declaration include boundary disagreements, arguments over shared maintenance, noise complaints reported to the council, and antisocial behaviour logged with police or local authority.
Your situation may be slightly different. ask a question below ↓ and our editorial team will reply with our advice.
Boundary disputes and shared responsibilities
Boundary disputes are among the most frequently declared neighbour issues: disagreements over where a boundary falls, who owns a fence or wall, or who maintains hedges between properties. Any formal dispute about boundaries needs mentioning, even if resolved. Boundary issues can resurface, and buyers are entitled to know the history.
Shared maintenance responsibilities are another common source of friction. If your property shares a driveway, roof, drainage, or other features with a neighbour, disagreements about upkeep and costs should be disclosed.
For flats or properties with shared areas, there may be questions about disputes involving the freeholder, management company, or other leaseholders. The TA6 form includes separate sections for leasehold properties: check these carefully.
Practical steps when selling
Before completing the form, think carefully about your history with neighbours. Consider whether there have been formal complaints, written exchanges, or involvement from councils, police, or mediators. Gather any relevant paperwork and keep copies of correspondence relating to disputes. Evidence of resolution may be helpful.
Provide a balanced account. You do not need to document every passing annoyance: the form identifies problems a buyer should know about before committing.
If you have experienced serious problems such as persistent antisocial behaviour or harassment, take legal advice before completing the form. A solicitor can help you present information clearly. Even for minor uncertainties, professional guidance helps avoid complications.
For more information on your rights and responsibilities when selling, visit GOV.UK. If you are dealing with an ongoing neighbour dispute, your local council's environmental health or antisocial behaviour team may help, and mediation services remain an option for disputes that have not escalated to legal proceedings.
Selling a home with a history of neighbour problems can feel daunting, but honesty and proper legal advice will help you manage the process. Most buyers appreciate transparency, and being upfront can help avoid complications after the sale completes.
Now I’ve chosen to move as this neighbour is a nightmare she has now contact my agent stating she will be moving the front boundary too what can I do ? The land registry map seems so vague on where the boundary lies
(1) One of the houses appears to be empty and has large trees growing in it. They are now very close to my fence and overhanging a lot. I have cut off as much as i can reach of the branches overhanging but I am concerned about my fence. I have put a note in the door asking for the owner to contact me but no response. I have paid for a a report from land registry to identify the owner but it just tells me the address of the empty property.
(2) I also have a neighbour at the bottom who has removed a couple of fence panels (not the ones I put in - I don't know who owns that fence). She keeps saying she is either going to put them back or get new ones but she has been saying that for two years now.
Has anybody any advice?
From 6.10am to 01.00am the next day. This is round about every 2 hours and it just barks for 15 mins sometimes 10 sometimes 5 but it is right under my bedroom window. Im disabled and practically bed bound, I only leave the house for medical appointments. I need to be stretched out otherwise my pain is too much for me to cope with.
I struggle sleeping, so when I'm dozing off at 10pm then this dog starts barking im wide awake!! Then I start to doze again then the dog wakes me up. Then I cannot get to sleep at all, im in a vicious circle!
I can't even rest throughout the day because of it!
This dog also wakes my son up, who then gets irritable and loses concentration at school.
Next door have had the dog for years and I've noticed it barking, but not to this degree, you can even hear it barking when its inside its house! They don't seem that bothered, but I have noticed that when I got ill with covid and came home from hospital they did seem to stop it barking as much! I just don't get it! It stands there and barks at nothing!
What should I do apart from quit moaning, wind my neck in and get some ear plugs!
guttering on the roof has a downpipe at both ends,so my property has no downpipe
One of my neighbours is changing his guttering and says he will put an end cap on my side as his new guttering will not line up with mine !
Can he do this ?
The previous owners of my house disclaim a dispute about a tree with a TPO on it. I realised of this a year after they moved, I had to resolved the dispute myself and had to pay £1650 to remove the tree after the council removed the TPO. I don't have the owner contact details to chase them legally and the solicitor who acted on the sell is not responding to me, saying she is no acting on their behalf and won't provide the current address or contact details of the previous owners. What can I do please?
Lived here over 10 years and although the guy is ok when he's not been confronted about something he loses his rag if something has happened and you approach him.
Do I need to tell the seller about calling the police about noise issues? I think the police have intervened when there's been a party. What about if I'd contacted CAB and insurance company about water ingress? I didn't actually go through with the claim but they visited me (excess was too much). I believe that an letter was sent to him as well but he never collected it from the post office.
How do we get rid of this place and move on? It seems such a nightmare designed to keep people trapped in their homes with awful neighbours.
She has caused upset about my disabled child, attacked & damaged our property. She's constantly called the police. So much so they are not bothered with listening to us.
Is there anyway i can find records to see if she has had disputes in the past with old neighbours?
Kind regards
Amy
We moved to our new home 2 years ago now and from last year the elderly man over the Rd has become a night mare when our children come home from uni and park out side our house one car I might add and lots off room to get by and not blocking anything , he has become very aggressive and abusive and he's very nasty , found out from others on the Rd he attacked the former lady that lived here and has been in consent arguing with others on the Rd ,
There was nothing about this in the records when we brought the house
Question is should we have been informed of this man by the previous owners
I need some advise my grandpa sold the house we staying in without informing us where can I get help we've got no where to go
I hope you will be able to help me.
Our neighbours put their house on the market. We have on going dispute with them about the wall which was build in the boundaries, shared gutter which has been kicked off to our side and poorly designed drainage on front of the house. We have complained to our neighbours several times before house was put on the market and then to their estate agent. We have received no answers either from next door or agent.
Today, I have seen on the Rightmove that house was sold. Our issues are still not resolved.
What else we can do to ensure issues will be solved before they move out?
Thank you for your help.
No chance you could park out there to stop him, or a neighbour..
good luck.
Some people are just....words fail!
Our society is broken! - sorry..fed up with no help, what are we all supposed to do?
Politicians living in cloud cuckoo land, so far removed from every day society, just want to scream some days...
Sorry rant over! Good luck to any poor soul in a no win situation with louts!
We are in the process of buying a house and probably 2 weeks from exchange and 5 from completion.
Having done a quick search on the road I have come across 6 anti social behaviour police reports listed in that road within the past 18 months. The most recent was in January this year. The road only has 11 houses so this is something I am now really concerned about.
Need some advice on what I should be doing now? Can I call the local police station for more information?
Thanks in advance
Knowledge is power, if I know I could have made an informed decision
My first night in, he was loudly banging doors at all times of the day/night, he is very heavy footed and there is therefore constant loud noises from above when he moves around. He also has a very bad cough which I can hear at all times of the day / night and he wakes me up constantly during the night. Finally, I can hear his phone ring like it is in my flat.
I was not informed of any of this by the seller, despite specifically asking if there were any noise issues from the flat above. Is there any come back on the sellers regarding this?? I would not have bought the flat had I known of these noise issues and I am very upset/angry.
I have contacted my landlord RBKC and they have not responded. Do I have a legal standing as their burnt out flat which looks totally unacceptable is affecting the sale of my flat.
However, the seller's car does not fit on the driveway and they prefer to park on the road. Therefore, they are now in dispute with a neighbour who often parks outside the house, hence the £10K claim. My parents wrote "driveway" under Q9 of the TA6 and did not mention disputes because they had not had any themselves. As you can imagine my ageing parents are worried about losing their savings, so any advice?
For 30 years. We did come to see the flat while it was being built, and thought it was the back of shops or offices outside our window. The day we moved in a guy came to introduce himself, and asked if we were told about the smoking area of his night club outside our window. The noise goes on till 3am in the morning. My husband went round to the estate agent and she ignored him also the Solicitor we used was part of Connells they also ignored us. We have been everywhere to get help, no nobody seems to be able to help us, even the property omnibus went withe lying estate agents. We have now got the flat on the market, and will lose £100,000.
This is all our life savings. I thought Estate agents had to tell you about the night clubs and the noise. Our life has been ruined. We bought this as a retirement flat
We are both in our seventies.
We’ve just heard about a potential development nearby through hearsay , we’ve had no letters or anything official to say it’s going to happen.
Are we obliged to tell our estate agent ?
We did have Police involvement that led to mediation in 2015. Since then there have been no issues. Does this have to be declared?
Many thanks.
Is the seller aware of anything which might lead to a disupte about the property or a property nearby? If yes please give details
Have any notices or correspondence been received or sent (e.g from or to a neighbour, council or government department), or any negotiations or discussions taken place which affect the property or a property nearby. If yes, please give details
I am currently in a dispute with my downstairs neighbour. We both own our flats. We had a plumbing issue which resulted in water leaking into her flat, this has since been resolved and it transpired to be the plumbers fault. Unfortunately, my neighbour became incredibly abusive and threatening towards myself, my husband and our 1 year old. This resulted in my reporting her to the police due to the aggression and abuse, along with the threats. We have also had the management company involved to mediate, but this has been semi informal via phone calls with the lease manager and no formal mediation process has happened. We are looking to move anyway due to our baby needing more room, but this has spurred us on to look to move asap. Our neighbour has also said in the past she is looking to move, but to rent her flat out.
Would we need to declare this when we move? If it is resolved amicably would we declare? If she moves before we do would we need to?
My partner and I are selling our flat - we've found a buyer but are now looking at addressing the issue of whether to declare an issue we had with a noisy neighbour upstairs. A few months ago the person upstairs started playing music at unsociable hours, very loud. We complained to the management agency (but not the council, and we have never taken legal action) about the noise. We have since resolved the issue with the person upstairs and she has texted us explaining that she won't play music loud after 11, and won't breach the terms of lease again. The questionnaire asks 'have there been any disputes or complaints regarding this property or a property nearby'. Should we declare this as a previous complaint?
I’ve just become a first time buyer so new at all this. From start to end and ongoing this new property has been a nightmare as looks are deceiving to the untrained eye. I am a nurse and work shifts including nights and this was discussed with the vendor when discussing noise as I was looking for a quiet property to enable sleep due to my ever changing work commitments. He informed me his wife was a nurse and their bedroom (now mine) and the rest of the house was extremely quiet. The street is quiet however my neighbours television sounds like it’s in my living room and the two bedrooms connected as it’s semi detached. I also hear the husband and wife shouting loudly to each other once they finally turn the tv off after 11.30pm. Their both elderly from what the other neighbours have told me and I’ve tried knocking to introduce myself and request they turn it down a touch but I never get an answer.
What can I do and where do I stand legally with the vendor for false information now the sales complete?
My neighbour to the side has put a raised patio in the corner of their garden adjoining mine at the rear.
They have now put a large summer House type building immediately next to my fence. It is large and obtrusive. I’ve read the regulations which indicate a max height of 2.5m, the new summer house is way in excess of this.
They have not spoken to us about their addition but I want to handle things appropriately. We are neighbours not friends. Help please.
In the 1.5 years since the work our neighbour has not once complained and we have amicable relations with them. That was until we put our house on the market last month. As soon as the for sale sign went up we started receiving letters saying the building work was substandard, that we hadn't followed regs and that he could hear noise from us all the time such as sneezing and singing. We spoke to him and he accepted that we had building regs and we thought the issue was resolved but a few days after the sold sign has gone up the letters have started again with accusations of cutting into third party walls (which we haven't) and failure to adhere to fire regulations. He has even made trips into the estate agent to hand deliver letters saying that he's reported us to the council for the poor building work. We feel he's trying to prevent us selling, although we're unsure why. Do we have to declare this? What are our options?
We have just put up a summer house - after getting permission form builders and meeting all of the Town & Country planning regs, our neighbor has shouted through the fence, taken photos and is going to go to the builders because she can see it from her window. Is this harassment?
I just moved into my new house five days ago.
When I viewed the house I specifically asked if they ever heard any noise from the neighbours and they said no they never hear anything.
They did not comment of any noise on the questionnair from the solicitor before buying the house.
The bass on the neighbours tv system is so loud it echoes through my entire house and is inescapable.
If find this impossible to believe they hadn’t noticed it.
Is there anything I can do?
Kind regards
However my next door neighbour has called the police and the council about this on several occasions as it also impacts her.
How will this impact me selling my flat?
Any advice on how to resolve this issue without impacting on a future sale?
If I sell in 12 months time do I have to declare this.
Many thanks for any advice.
Have there been any disputes or complaints regarding this property or nearby property?
Are you aware of anything that might lead to a dispute about the property or nearby property?
Have any notices or correspondence been received or sent (e.g From or to a neighbour, council or government department) or any negotiations or discussions taken place which affect the property or property nearby?
Thank you.
Some teenagers quite strongly tackled my front door like 4 or 5 times in a total of 9-10 days almost two years ago. I reported it to the police several times. From that time they had done the same a handful of times but because it's each time less and less I haven't reported it anymore. They haven't done this in the last 9 months more or less.
Apart from that I've seen some minor things written in one of the boards of my fence last month. I haven't reported it but it is visible anyway. Of course, I could replace the board for a new one. But it's very possible that more than one of my neighbours that live next to my house had seen it already.
I don't think the teenagers live in the periphery of my house. I'd say that most of them live 7 or more minutes walking from my house (but I'm not 100% sure).
What of this should I declare?
Thanks
The woman (mid-30s) downstairs has complained at least once a week since we moved in about how loud our footsteps are & said "in this flat block everyone has to walk like a mouse to not disturb anyone so can you please both walk like mice", she's also complained about noise from TV and washing machine (we don't have washing machine on past 7pm).
She also implied she was complaining to previous owner during his time living here about his footsteps etc. While there was never any action taken between previous owner and the complaining woman below, should this have been disclosed to us as it is casting a large black cloud over our first property....
I want to sell up and move due to my job now, Dow I need to d Clare my objection?
We have had an issue with a noisy neighbour in our flat block which turns out has been something several other residents have been battling for many years prior to us buying our flat here.
We have been unable to resolve it between us and have now had to escalate to the issue to Police / Environmental Health / Council etc.
My question would be if the issue is resolved by th authorities and we do not sell our flat for 2-3 years and in that time there has been no continued problems, are we still obliged to declare it?
Is there any mandatory time period for disclosing?
The neighbour says the garden had trees which blocked his light and plants which grew overhanging the fence and which he one day savagely chopped back and threw over the fence. The landlord denies there was a problem and says the garden wasn't overgrown and was actually something of a show garden.
It looks as though the landlord doesn't have to declare this dispute but we are wondering if we would be foolish moving into a house where there may well be ongoing neighbour problems. The neighbour complained somewhat aggressively to us about our car scratching his in our shared driveway although we don think this was true. He is obviously someone who likes to be in charge.
Problem is, I actually reported the ex-husband (similar issues) more than a year ago to the council & he has moved out more than a year ago. Should I still declare any of the above? I'm too afraid that buyer will pull out as I cannot afford the consequences.
Thank you.
We have neighbours that make noise frequently throughout the night. They're not the sort of neighbours that can be approached. I contacted the housing association about two years ago to complain about the noise. The housing association did nothing and i never followed up as we decided we had better just move instead of put ourselves at risk from repercussions. It's still a bit issue however. I also want to contact the housing association to ask they clean their garden up as it's going to put any potential buyers off.
Do I need to declare any of this?
Thanks in advance.
His house is with a local agent, should I contact the agent to declare the unresolved boundary dispute ? The Police have also been involved following an incident that resulted in his shot guns being taken away and licence revoked. Should potential purchasers be informed of these and other problems ?
Many thanks.
Just find it had to believe the local council approved the plans which had no juxtaposition to adjoining properties. we now velux window half a meter away from our bedroom window.
Feel very let down.
The worst is the neighbour directly next door, her daughter is currently harassing me and last night threatened to kill me and rip my head off when I was in the garden with my kids! Obviously reported this to the police who then informed me she has done this to everyone on the street and surrounding streets and targets people 1 by 1, police have issued her with a harassment warning but surely this neighborur should have been declared when we where buying the house? She is in court every month for breach of the peace and harrassment! She's making my life a living hell?
i aim too sell my house soon as the neighbors joined too me (semi) have had a through ceiling lift fitted,we didn't know until the noise started, a loud hummimg sound which gets louder the higher it goes ! its behind our dining room wall and ends behind the main bedroom .It hurts my ears !
I have been told it devalue my property!
Also i have too tell any new buyers about the noise !
i rang my council too ask for advice as it was funded by them and told me there was nothing i could do!
im at my wits end!!
jess
Please advice as I think I'm going to lose my mind!
'you’ll have to own up to any issues you’ve had with the neighbours when you’re selling your home' ....
applies, or not, in Scotland with it's different conveyancing and planning legislation and its own Home Report?
The seller had not lived in the property for 10 plus years and it was a rental. We have discovered that adult male owner next door smokes pot/weed 24/7 when he's home. We can't open windows, or use the garden it smells so strong at times and is coming through the house from kitchen and bathroom. We have two kids under 10 and we feel very let down and don't know what to do about it.
What do you advise?
On Wednesday night during the storms the water could not enter the soakaway quick enough and being the lowest point, my porch flooded, as did my hallway a little. Water passed through the single skin brickwork under my door threshold.
I need to replace the linear channel with a larger one, and get this connected to the water authority sewer; I have already contacted the water company and they are ok with this.
My question is who is responsible to get this carried out? me, my neighbour, or both of us?
Thanks in advance for your response.
Thanks
Have there been any disputes or complaints regarding this property or a property nearby?
Is the seller aware of anything that might lead to a dispute about the property or property nearby?
It would be up to you whether to mention the thin walls. If they've never bothered you, then you might reasonably answer no to this question.
They are a well educated family but have no respect for others as the front of the house just looks full of disrepair.
We are thinking of selling our property to scale down but am worried about the exterior of our neighbours. Any suggestions how I deal with this tiresome problem.
These are the things you should NOT do in my experience of being lied to by my seller and Estate Agents
1/ Contact the legal/Property Ombudsman as they drag your case on with poor results and they never give you an appropriate answer when dealing with your case
2/Never ever contact a Solicitor,like myself costing me 1,200 pounds and nothing done with very poor excuses and pay expensive legal fees for nothing in return
3/Contact the Estate Agent you bought the property from,you'll be given more lies and excuses
These are your rights taken away from you in my honest experience in the UK
My neighbour who owns one of the garages undertook guttering work along all garages which leads to a communal down pipe. The cost was shared amongst the five garages.
My neighbour did not realise that my property shared the communal downpipe until after the work was completed.
He is now asking me for a share of the cost.
Would like to know where I stand legally as no permission was sought nor prior intimation received by me to be negotiated beforehand.
No written or verbal permission was granted by me or was there any agreement to participate in payment discussed.
It was only after the finished work was completed that he and the contractor realised
that my property should have been included.
Please answer under Scots Law.
Thanks.
After living here a matter of weeks it came to light that our neighbours son is a heroin addict who also sells drugs from the house. There have been many occasions where we have witnessed this but all the police say they are watching him and they are aware. We have also had problems with the neighbour sunbathing naked, she even told me my 6 yo enjoys seeing her. Again police were not interested.
The problem has escalated to the point that the son is now wanted for a serious crime and has been running through our garden damaging our property in the meantime.
Other neighbours have informed us that he has always been a problem, he has even attacked someone in the street with a hammer! I strongly feel that we should have been told about this, especially as the seller knew we were moving in with 2 young children. Where do we stand legally? Can we still take action against the previous owner as they would have been fully aware of what was going on.
We've lived at our place for 11 years since 2004 , it was blissfully quiet as next door neighbour was an elderly gentleman who then passed away 1 and half year later after we moved in. His granddaughter and her family moved in, they still block mine and my neighbour's driveway as we live on a corner. We have had white lines painted but has no effect whatsoever. Also this woman, call her D, also deals with drugs and her family is also involved in drug dealing in cannabis, skunk and cocaine. We have got the police involved because they kept us up during the night with their customers honking their horn at the early hours of the morning. They also have dangerous dogs who has the history of attacking people and they've escaped several times. They never walk nor socialise them.
It is not just me that is having the problems with her, my neighbours is having a nightmare with her parking over their drive and ours. They do not have a driveway, so they don't care where they park as long it's close to their home.
We are absolutely sick to death of it, the council and police are doing sod all. We are putting in a formal complaint to the police for their inaction over the drugs and dangerous dogs.
I would like to know what can we do if our property is devalued in price, it seems SO wrong that we have to be penalised for their inconsiderate and anti social actions. We can't sue the previous vendors, because it was quiet back then until the demon granddaughter of that gentleman moved in because the property was in her name. I wonder if it would be possible to sue the anti social neighbour for the all the stress they've caused in the last 9 years, with drugs, dangerous dogs, verbal abuse (disability hate crime towards me - but it didn't exist back then but police did nothing), making lots of noise in the early hours of the morning, blocking ones driveways, their sons fighting, drug taking. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
I am loathed to state any of this on the sellers form because things have improved and the authorities have investigated and concluded there is not a nuisance. Must we declare any of this when selling?
If the new homeowners experienced any noise in future and sued would they have to prove there was a legal noise nuisance themselves?
Thanks
We moved into our new property 7 months ago. The sellers of our property never stated any problems with the adjoining neighbours.
Since moving here, it has come to light that out next door neighbours are a nightmare. They have two JRT that do not stop barking, have parties in the mid week, which on two occasions now we have had to knock as both of our young children had been woaken up by the music being played in the back garden at 10pm on a Tueday night. Drink and swear continuously in the back garden, the JRTS constantly bark at my own dog through the fence. The noise that comes from the back bedroom, a joining my sons room is the worst and constantly wakes him up.
After speaking with other neighbours we have learnt that our sellers were fully aware of this, made complaints and wrote a diary of daily events regarding these issues. We would never of brought this property if we had been made aware. The sellers knew we had 2 young children, even met them on one occasion and still failed to inform us on this information.
Other neighbours are complete astonished that the sellers of this property had not informed us of this.
Can we take legal action against our sellers
Any advice would be great, thank you
im just trying to get some information to help my friend she sold her house 3 years ago (2012), her neighbours weren't by any means neighbours from hell but had the odd party - like 1 or 2 a year that some times where loud
They made a complain to the council in 2006 (9 years ago) about the noise of a party they didn't disclose this complaint as is was so far back in the past they hadn't even rememebred making it
Last week the new owner has threated them with legal action as they didnlt disclose it in the SPIF as he says shes a nightmare neighbour he is asking for 18K in compensation
Surely he doesn't have much grounds considering it was so far back and it was one compliant and why has it taken 3 years if you had nightmare neighbours you would have reported this sooner??
When I've looked in to this potentially this could have been icked up in the local authorities checks if they had been and complaints logged?
Any advice would be grately appriciated
So I've plans to travel and I'd like to sell my flat, but how much do I have to declare and will it put off buyers?
Any help greatly appreciated.
I find myself in exactly the opposite situation: I own a flat in an ex local authority block and for over a year I have been the victim of constant noise from tenants. God knows how many are squeezed in a one-bed as people come in and out at all times. Despite a whole year of complaints I got nowhere.
It is true that the law is too soft and, in any case, requires too many - and often vain - steps. Why can't they just implement a zero tolerance policy? After three warnings and failing to abide, one should be chucked out. Without causing offence to all the decent fellow renting a flat from the council, I totally agree with the anonymous post (- - 14-Feb-15 @ 5:31 PM).
If judges or politicians had the chance to suffer similar stuff, they would certainly do something drastic about this. But they live in houses worth seven figures in Mayfair or Chelsea: hence they are distant from the real world and the abuse so many have to endure in silence.
1. Does he require my permission to sell his 50%?
2. If he doesn't require my permission to sell his share, is there a way of stopping him?
3. How much will it cost to take legal action to stop the sale?
Can they do this leagally? I would have thought they should tell me first and give a reason why.
I now have water pouring over my gutter outside my window and i'm worried it's going to cause damp.
Any advice would be appreciated.
I wonder if my question will get answered quicker than poor Richyrich who seems to have been waiting over a year now.
The information is closer to opinion and is poor at best - if you expect to be involved in legal action it should NOT be relied on.
Parasitic site feeding on people's misery. Go to your Citizens Advice Bureau or a GOV.UK website for accurate information.
The seller is suggesting the neighbour is trying to be opportunistic, which we don't believe as the owners told us they don't want us to be lumbered with this dispute and the seller should have reduced the height of the trees.
Where do we stand?
Any advice?
