We have been in our rented house for 4 years, we rent via a lettings agency. Four months ago the neighbours from hell moved in. All night parties, noise, music, people coming and going etc, every weekend/through the night and some weekdays. Unfortunately they have bought the house so we can't go to their landlords. We are in contact with the council environmental health team and that is progressing (slowly).
My question is: does anyone know if we have any recourse with the landlord or letting agent? I know it's not their fault, but I wondered whether they have any responsibility to tenants on this score? One of the main problems is that the walls are particularly thin and so once they've got some people over and/or they've had a few, we can hear everything- it's literally like being in a pub-we have to have music on all the time to drown out their noise and wear ear plugs at night.
Anyway thanks for reading this and any ideas and especially any info on landlord responsibilities gratefully received.
