Neighbour Disputes
Neighbour disputes can stem from a number of
things:
- rowdy and inconsiderate behaviour click

- excessive noise click here for advice
>>
- harassment (such as verbal abuse or threats)
- intimidation
- a property which is dangerous or unhealthy
- an overgrown garden which may be encroaching on a property
compromising the enjoyment of the property.
- car parking
- property boundaries
- dog nuisance click here for advice

Talk to your neighbour - Approaching your
neighbour calmly and politely and asking them to change their
behaviour may be all that is needed to resolve the situation.
They may not be aware they are causing a disturbance and it just so
happens that you have conflicting lifestyles.
Mediation - if approaching your neighbour
directly does not solve the problem then mediation may help you
both come to an understanding. Mediation consists of a
impartial third party (mediator) helping disputing neighbours
discuss their problems with each other in a neutral location, this
will hopefully result in an agreement between the two parties
meaning no further action will need to be taken.
