Whewwww, i'm at a crossroad going by this suggestion, starting the process of getting somewhere else is dreadful, cost implication and the stress. I totally understand your point, not having to tiptoe around the house cos of one neighbor..

Lexusgs430:


The noise complaints would not stop....... Assuming you sign another 6 months, are you happy to reside in such an apartment, with the tension?....

Lol, ofcourse i'm not happy, £850/pcm ....

Lexusgs430:



When you pay your rent happily, you want to live in a happy environment.........

NB : You might not be happy paying expensive rent, but understand my point........

Paying £850 pcm and baby cannot play well and you would be tip toeing around the house like a squatter............

You might, depending on the property and search reach....

Thanks for the response, its actually a rented apartment.

I'm not sure there is any justification to go the Legal route, if the agency thinks its illegal, i expect them not to rent upper flats out to people with kids. Will try and push my luck to see if i could use the threats in her email against her...Will also ask her for a worst case scenario and see what her response would be...

You have got to be careful, I’ve seen many cases like this and noise is noise no matter who is making it. Your neighbour is entitled to enjoy the comfort of their home without noise from the neighbours etc. Worse case senario your lease will be terminated if you are renting and you may have to find somewhere else to live. You might also end up with a large legal bill since you are the offending party.

Secondly, even if you own the property your neighbour and management company may issue you with a section 126 notice. This is a notice to repair and it forces you to make adjustments to your whole floor area. You will be required to install padding in the floor up to a certain (stated in your lease) standard before installing floor boards or tiling. In some cases, if the lease forbids floor boards on top floors you may have to rip out the floor fittings and install carpets, also to the standard stated in your lease.

For those of you who have very young kids and you are buying a property e.g.flat depending on the area. Please read your lease very well, especially in the noise and flooring part. These days people tend be very selfish and are less tolerant of kids. Looking at the other side of the coin when you work very hard and come home to relax any kind of noise is frustrating.

Okay, lets see, moving out will be the worst case scenario...

Yinkzy03,

Sorry you have to deal with this.
Unfortunately, i agree with others that you have to move.

I lived on a first floor flat many years ago with first child,i had the neigbour under us hitting the ceiling with a broom or a hard object when he felt we were disturbing,we even got an angry knock on the door.

We were usually very apologetic but understood that they also wanted peace as well not a noisy child running round constantly.

We started avoiding flats since then.

If you ever move to a flat,get a ground floor one , or just go for a nice sound proof semi and have peace of mind.

It would be such a huge hassle to move but it will be worth it in the end if you don't have a hostile environment to live in even though their anger is justified..

You can tell the agents you will move,ask them if they have other property in their portfolio, this would cut charges for you i believe.

Pele oooo..


Forgot to add that you'll need reference from your agency if moving on so no need to antagonise them...

I never said renting out top flats to families is illegal. The word I’m trying to use here is breach of the lease by the landlord. He may have changed the flooring and not followed the lease specifications that’s why there is so much noise.

Thanks very much, well said.

I'll engage the same agent and see if they can find us a ground floor flat...

You are right, the Landlord put wooden flooring in the Lounge and carpeted the other parts of the house including the kitchen, which doesn't make sense to me....

This explains par of the problem, If you really want to stay there maybe you can ask the landlord if he followed the lease specifications when laying down the flooring, cos this is causing problems for you.

Hello Everyone.

I have never been outside the shores on Naija and would want to make a trip this year.

Learnt that there are lots of bottle necks with the US Visa waka.

I would like to visit the UK, my cousins and extended family stays at Birhimgham City.

I am the sole sponsor of my trip...

What are my chances, i currently earn a little above 150, with savings in Mutual funds (1.5M).

All visa applications have bottlenecks...... The question is, do you have what it takes to untangle this bottlenecks?

Bottlenecks to prove that you are truly an intending visitor ......

It's an important questions. Cities with 2-3 bedroom around 500-600 pounds would be considered affordable to me and my lovely wife. We can pay those 1000 pound a month flats. Kindly get back to me, so I can make an informed decision on what city to settle in, in the UK.

NB: All agents I meet always ask, what city do u prefer?, and obviously, I don't know which city to tell them.

I need ur answers, as u have always answered before.

deept:

I can't zone my self out of anything. I must flex, live and get rich in the UK. No going back!

I simply meant compared to London, what cities are far more affordable and accommodating, in terms of housing.

Thanks bro

When you talk of affordability, that is a misnomer. Would you want to reside in far flung places, where jobs are non - existent, then having to pay £600 pcm on cost of transportation (from work - home)?

Did you say fair weather ? What exactly does this even mean ? You have Summer, winter and autumn.............. If you stay in the UK for a year, you are bound to experience, the good, the bad and the ugly .............

Friendly Indigenes ? The UK is a multicultural country, albeit certain areas might have minority concentration. But does not mean fully occupied by them .......

The average monthly rent is usually between £700 - £1300 pcm ...... A big figure for you and your very lovely wife to chew on ........ (not unless you or your lovely wife is a keyworker, and might receive certain rental benefits)........

Can i decide for you what areas to live in the UK ? NO...... UK is wide enough, from London to Glasgow (that are between 10 hours apart driving) .... You see, this issue is much bigger than Bombay ........

Ok Sir. I get that part.

Am nit sure that would be much of a challenge compared with visiting the US with regards to same status.

A lot of grammar with very little help I must say.

We all know that cost of living in North Ireland, or Northingam or even scotland would be far less than London, and presumably, there might still be jobs with considerable pay there. It is in these terms I speak.

No problem at all if u have no answers. UK is a must by any chance.

The Max rent I can pay for my family is 700. I am coming to UK to upgrade my economics, as much as my standard of living.

A productive weekend

That £700 rent would still cost you about £2000 (in deposits and rental logistics). Let me even start by asking, what sort of visa are intending to apply for ?

Let's start from here ............

Tier 2. All agents ask me where I like to reside. Now I think of where to reside in terms of affordability of housing compared to London, availability of jobs and friendliness of the people. Now the best u have been able to do is to give me no answers.

I sincerely hope u can assist with answers as u used to in the past.

Much regards.
