Dealing with noisy neighbours

[Princey]

Just wanting some advice to avoid this escalating out of hand.

I'm currently renting a property and have been for just over 1 year now.

For the last 10 months I've been putting up with a neighbour who has their surround sound booming from the time they get home from work to often well past 11:00pm. This can be heard in every single room and means I no longer use my living room as it's too much. I've tried to approach this tenant by knocking the door and also with a letter through the letter box but this hasn't worked. I'm now writing a letter to the company that manages the property.

Never been in the situation so if you'd word it differently please let me know.

Hello,

I'm currently renting a property that CPBigwood manage, it's ******** in *******. I am renting flat X which is a group floor flat.

For the past 10 months I've had major issues with TV/music volume at flat 10 who is next door. It's constantly at a level that can be heard in every room in my flat, even ones that have a room in between. This has rendered my living pretty much redundant as it's impossible to drown the noise out without annoying the flat above me. I'm not the only tenant that has noticed this, flat 13 directly above flat 10 and the flat directly to the left of flat 10 have all complained of the volume. This usually starts as soon as he is home and can extend well past 11:00pm.

I have tried to contact the flat 10 be knocking the door and dropping a note in his mailbox but I've seen no evidence that this has worked.

I'm at the point now where I am not wanting to renew my tenancy agreement unless this can be resolved. Would it about possible to get a letter sent out to the tenant of flat 10?

Kind Regards

Thanks for the advice.

I've sent the email to the property management firm. I will also inform my letting agency, if all this fails then I will move once the agreement ends in 5 months.

What do they say when you speak to them? Do they apologise and turn the music down, or just tell you to do one?

I've been in a similar situation, but it got better after I talked to them.

They don't answer the door, I've banged on the door for so long one night the flat opposite told me off.
