Isn't that only if you complain to the council? Surely we can still have a quiet civilised word with someone without it having to go down on a form?"Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny. "
Thomas Jefferson -
These "civilized words" can end up with another neighbour having to dial 999, or at least overhearing it all. So, I'd rather pay £200 to soundproof my wall, getting the added benefit of excellent insulation, and be serene after the house sale. Your bastardly noisy neighbour may well mention, one fine day, to the person who bought your house that you, like, the buyer, are nothing more than a killjoy effing so-and-so... then the game's up and you lose big time.Originally posted by Ruprect View PostIsn't that only if you complain to the council?

Yup, this is an all too common problem with badly converted / carved up old houses. Not a lot you can do.Originally posted by BlasterBates View PostThere's not a lot you can do, you can't stop people wandering around their flat.
Solution: Rent your flat out to Antipodeans, throw in a free soundsystem and subwoofer, and move out.Comment
