I wondered if I can get some advise with a problem neighbour. Over the last several years I have suffered from constant noise from my neighbour and water damage to my home (4 times).
I have approached them a few times, have written letters with my concerns about mainly the noise, and have had no joy, I have been told they pay their mortgage and can make as much noise as they like, btw the response is mainly from the older lady who is at least late 80's. It's gotten to a stage where I just try to ignore the noise now, which is ridiculous. However water damage to my home is unacceptable, each time my home have been damaged was by pure negligence, i.e. leaving the sink (not bath!!) running whilst on the phone. The latest incident was this week, I returned home from work to find a puddle of water in my kitchen, water was running down my walls from their bathroom during the day, the water had stopped running by the time I got home, so I knocked my neighbour door to ask what had happened, her response was "move from her door" she then slammed the door in my face!
My concerns are what happens in the future if I have any other issue with damage to my property, as clearly they are not taking responsibility, and it now it seems I cant even have a conversation with these people, if they are now slamming doors in my face.

Hi there
I wondered if I can get some advise with a problem neighbour. Over the last several years I have suffered from constant noise from my neighbour and water damage to my home (4 times).
I have approached them a few times, have written letters with my concerns about mainly the noise, and have had no joy, I have been told they pay their mortgage and can make as much noise as they like, btw the response is mainly from the older lady who is at least late 80's. It's gotten to a stage where I just try to ignore the noise now, which is ridiculous. However water damage to my home is unacceptable, each time my home have been damaged was by pure negligence, i.e. leaving the sink (not bath!!) running whilst on the phone. The latest incident was this week, I returned home from work to find a puddle of water in my kitchen, water was running down my walls from their bathroom during the day, the water had stopped running by the time I got home, so I knocked my neighbour door to ask what had happened, her response was "move from her door" she then slammed the door in my face!
My concerns are what happens in the future if I have any other issue with damage to my property, as clearly they are not taking responsibility, and it now it seems I cant even have a conversation with these people, if they are now slamming doors in my face.
Any advise is welcome?
Thanks
