Ok,
So let me tell you about my little problem...
As in another thread to do with noisy neighbours, I have mentioned that recently the house next door to me has been sold (terraced) to a chap who is a private landlord (I have met him and have hist details). Back in mid April he finally had some tenants that moved in. For the next 2 months, it has basically been like living next to an ASBO college.
The seem to like to sit outside their front door with it wide open so that their staffies can run out at will with them sitting on the wall that divides our two paths to our front doors (which is about 1.5 metres in length). Our front doors are fairly close to each other so whilst they are perched there it is effectively like them standing outside our front door. Whilst there they like to partake in smoking weed... this is basically in the street as like I said earlier, the path isn't too big. Normally this will occur with the lad (father) of the young family out there with his mates which can sometimes be up to 6 of them. Both myself and my Mrs can find this very intimidating when entering or leaving our property.
On top of this, they are also quite vocal whilst inside their property. The Mum and Dad regularly have 'words' with each other which also includes door slamming and quite nasty language. I'm not too fussed about the language, but I am fussed about the level of the noise. It really does carry between the properties. As well as the shouting, they also like to play drum and bass very loudly as well, and again, the bass can cut straight through the house and is very annoying.
What really grates me about the whole thing though, is that I have a mortgage on my property, and the neighbours don't, and they don't even blooming work, so I can only assume that they are living there paid for by me out of my council bill. I have worked hard and have been very lucky to get my house... these people have just rocked up and living in an equivalent house for free.
So now that you know my neighbours, myself and my partner were planning on moving out of our house anyway to a more rural setting, but now that we have neighbours who are lowlife scumbags, we won't to move now.
Which leads me to my question... how far can I go with moaning at the neighbours or complaining to their landlord until I have to declare this on my fact sheet for any potential buyer?

Good luck.
