Re: breech of contract needed plzzzz for council

HI TG,

Your post is a little confusing, so could you just clarify a few points? is the following correct?

1. Your sister has sold her house and has been rehoused by the council, presumably on medical grounds due to her husbands illness.

2. She has been rehoused next door to a family, known to the council as prolific bullies, who harrassed the previous tenants?

3. The previous tenant died. I am unsure here if you are accusing the neighbours of some wrongdoing, or if the person in question passed away due to natural causes.

4. The council, presumably in partnership with social services are planning to make major alterations to the property to facilitate the needs of your brother in law?

5. Your relations do not like the area they have been rehoused in, and are looking for some grounds to move?

6. Which contract do you feel may have been breached, and what remedies are you looking for?

Answers to the above will give a clearer picture of what the situation is and possible solutions.

Hi Emerals
thankyou so much for your replyin aYour post is a little confusing, so could you just clarify a few points? is the following correct?

1. Your sister has sold her house and has been rehoused by the council, presumably on medical grounds due to her husbands illness.
yes my sister was rehoused on the grounds of medical i dont understand but somewhere along the line the dss has something to with it as well as the council this is how they got the house medical grounds.


2. She has been rehoused next door to a family, known to the council as prolific bullies, who harrassed the previous tenants?
yes aparently each tenant who has had the house previously has gone through the same.

3. The previous tenant died. I am unsure here if you are accusing the neighbours of some wrongdoing, or if the person in question passed away due to natural causes.
now i cannot be sure but as far as my sister has been told they were the cause of the old gentilman death for what they apparently put him throu the lady from the council apparently knew of all this but still offered jane the house.

4. The council, presumably in partnership with social services are planning to make major alterations to the property to facilitate the needs of your brother in law?
yes

5. Your relations do not like the area they have been rehoused in, and are looking for some grounds to move?
no they do like it they have done alot to the house they had the men in who stripped it to the bare brick etc etc the lady from the council went to see jane n andy and she could not believe she walked in the same house jane and andy paid with the help of the council and and had the garden adapted with all new fencing as with 2 small boys there was a railway track and trains to and for so they had to get the fencing to stop the boys going near the lines etc
they only want to move to get away from these neighbours infact the house is now awaiting exchange of contracts but they are serioulsy thinking of withdrawing and going back there..................

6. Which contract do you feel may have been breached, and what remedies are you looking for?
I was looking for breech of contract or something along those lines as the council lady knew and knows of the problems but still offered jane the house so far she jane has made an apt to see cab, and the housing lady but i am sure there must be some sort of dociment jane can have>

thankyou for your help

Re: breech of contract needed plzzzz for council

I am not an expert on this by any means, however if there is a noise problem then you need to inform the local environmental health dept and make a complaint. I would also log any issue such as them being in your garden and kicking footballs at windows with the police.

There are rights for children to play dont get me wrong, I am a youth worker and Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child: "1. States Parties recognize the right of the child to rest and leisure, to engage in play and recreational activities appropriate to the age of the child and to participate freely in cultural life and the arts.

That said if their play is causing distress and you can prove this then you need to follow the steps above to deal with them.

I don't know of why the Council might have breached the contract without seeing any contract, however there are laws to protect you from harrassment and laws to protect you from threat and intimidation. The environmental health would ask you to provide evidence as to things like the level of noise caused by the family etc and any physical threat would need to be reported to the police etc.

Hope this helps somewhat.

Hi,

Tanzarelli has answered mostof your questions on the noise etc. The council won't leav a property empty because there have been problems in the past.
You mention exchange of contracts, what does this mean? Are the ybuying the house or is it council?

Re: breech of contract needed plzzzz for council

Very often the police work with the council employee whi is assigned to that area, its usually the amount of calls from that particular area that will action the council to take steps and they do so if asked for by the police.

They may feel it can't only be a neighbour on only one side of the house so they are looking for numerous Call's from others.

Do you have a dispersal order in your area, many people don't know when they are in place.

They are often placed on parks, but the area's they cover are now getting bigger, due to teenage drinking and gathering at shops and street corners.

just a few things you may want to check up on with council and local police.

Re: breech of contract needed plzzzz for council

TG also hun if I were you I'd advise your sister to keep as much evidence of the harrassment etc as possible, get yourself a note book and start a diary of events and tell your sister to note down EVERYTHING and also to make sure that the council get all the complaints in writing and keep a copy of it all.
She should also note down any phone calls she makes to the council or the police or anyone else that she makes a complaint to about this family as well.

Re: breech of contract needed plzzzz for council

IS your sister actually encountering harassment, or is she just aware that there have been problems at the address in the past?

Re: breech of contract needed plzzzz for council

Apparently, virgin won't charge the disconnection fee if you intend to open a new contract with virgin, otherwise there is nothing that can be done about it.

Re: breech of contract needed plzzzz for council

TG - I a little confused by your sisters situation.
If she was a homeowner, on what basis did the council rehouse her and what basis will they do so in future?
I am not sure that moving out of the house was a good idea, without proper legal advice on housing.
