Thats harsh :crazy:

Sorry to hear that is happening to you – we have had problem neighbours before and its a nightmare especially when you fear to leave the house in case its burgled :hopeless:

Hope you find something new quickly :flowers:

The move is done and there were a few slight problems yesterday DNS in particular had people moving backwards and forwards between the old and the new server for a while which I hoped to avoid…

Sounds like a mare! There was me thinking my neighbour’s daughter and her teenage mate in the flat above were bad for wearing high heals day and night…

I’ve been lucky but I know there are crackhouses and a dodgy estate down the road from me and I always check every lock and door – plus I know the kids go on the rampage every so often, just going round smashing and torching what they can.

The bloke who previously lived in my house had some trouble with youths because he dared to argue with them (although I think his enemies have moved out of the area)

Even so, I even sometimes keep one of my bikes inside the house if I am out for a long weekend so at least if the shed is torched I wont lose both of them.

dunno what its like round your way but the “nee naws” are a regular sound here (they still have the old skool fire engine sound!)

I was told by some of your mates that they consider your town was way safer than “Londonistan” and as an (exiled?) Londoner I do believe them but the scum just get everywhere nowadays.

They can be dealt with but it might take the point where everyone loses their freedoms like actual lockdowns/curfews and police everywhere before society realises how bad things have got and things get better..

you, and everyone else has every right to judge people by the actions they make in the community in public. I’m getting really fucked off with the lack of shame and dignity some people have in this country.

I don’t want to go back to the days of “Empire and stiff upper lip” but I once thought that people in Britain had some idea about how to conduct themselves decently both in public and private, even if they didn’t follow all the norms of conventional society.

Sometimes voting with your feet and your capital (even if you don’t think you are “rich” your rent payments are substantial) is the best thing you can do.

your current landlord will wonder why he or she has lost a good tenant, and maybe they will make enquiries themselves after you have gone..

I am so glad i moved from a city i now live in the middle of nowhere its lovely, proper hassle free.A bloke i worked with said to me you cant beat having nice neighbours and i said yes you can NO NEIGHBOURS

ah right, wasn’t sure and didn’t realise that you owned the freehold..

where I live is a “nice” street but its blighted by what the “postcode check” will show up (every postcode area is judged for what its inhabitants are perceived to be like, but unless the check is done down to sector level (the last bit of a postcode) whole areas get written off.

Even so its paradise compared to Reading or London..

I think there are estate agents specialising in properties sold for this purpose. I expect and hope you will still make money on the deal as property as there are loads of people moving up this way from London/SE England (and are probably used to worse hassles in their old manor)

I get on well with my neighbours but I don’t draw attention to myself, don’t play music loud very often or make my interests obvious (as shown in my response to Ridgeways thread I don’t even have much hippy/raver stuff in my house any more!)

I think some of my neighbours may even be ex party people as I sometimes hear DnB from next door (its a family group where the two grown up kids have had to come back home with their babies as I think they have split from their partners..)

sorry to hear this its a fucking nightmare when this happens as you feel so out of controll,

Some friends of ours had a similar situation which unfortunatley escelated over months and months of unprovoked verbal threats, abuse by their neighbour who ended up unprovokedly assaulting him,
police called and she then assaulted 2 of them and was carried out of her house hands and legs cuffed,
went to court etc etc and as they had a ‘dispute’ they then had to tell the estate agents about this when trying to sell, as they could be fined if they didnt
So in the end they sold their house to a property developer – who was aware and didnt really care about the situation as they would then do it up and re sell it, and lost money unfortunatley but it wasnt as bad as they thought it would be


but for their peace of mind, personal safety and stress levels it was the best thing they ever did – as you are maent to feel safe in you ‘home’ (whatever type of home you have)

good luck mate and keep safe ! :group_hug

Just felt like airing my issues for a change and to see if anybody else is dealing with the same thing.

Oh yes mate,it was 6 years ago and I’m still frightened when I remember it…

I was living in a clean squatt for years,when two gipsy families(25-30 people) decided to squatt our garden.Those guys were such a scum,than even other gipsies could’nt bear them…

During eight monthes,our life turned to nightmare:robery,they put fire to the house two times(when we were sleeping inside!!),tried to rape my GF,threatened us of anything possible,trashed and broke everything around just ’cause they were bored…(I won’t list everything,I would’nt have finished tonite).

Just thinking to it makes me crazy right now…one thing I can say is :MOVE AWAY,if you’re not the kind of guy having a shotgun and wanting to live in a bunker !!! Even if you try to play it a hardcore way,they’ll always be worst…

:group_hugI know how harsh is this situation and send you lot of hope for your new life…:group_hug

bloody hell BT you have my sympathies it is shite when that happens.

I agree with you re getting more ‘involved’ will just make it worse.

Get out, find another, better place to live an good luck with it all.

(this may be a bit hippy but lookin back on things i’ve come to the conclusion that sometimes the universe just steps in an says ‘right its time for a change, i’m gonna do this to you so you’re gonna end up going off in another direction’. In my experience (not always happy) there is always a reason for stuff happening, that doesn’t always help at the time tho!) 😉
