  • legal rights to notify of neighbour issues on sale

    Long story short, past 7 years of living in a property we own we have had issues with the direct neighbour to the left of us. History involves police intervention, harassment, interference in our private business, a court case over bricks he gave our builder that was thrown out by the judge due to no legal basis, general unpleasantness and animosity from the day we moved in. The male is very aggressive and likes to think he controls the street. We are not that way but will not be bullied. We are now selling, not really due to the neighbour but for a variety of reasons. So on the past 6 months since the court case ended there hasnt been any real bother other than a peculiar over the top laugh he does when he sees us.

    Where do we stand with legal obligations to notify our buyers, the be clear there are no boundary dispute or anything to to with the property, more like a personal vendetta with my wife and I.

    Thanks

    You must give honest answers to all questions the buyer asks. If you do not, you may face a claim for damages. Questions about issues with neighbours are standard in the conveyancing process.

      To add he had been arrested for assaulting me on my drive and threats to kill

        And what if the buyers ask no questions and given what I know about the legal system a claim for damages must have evidence to back up the claim and for there to be a material financial loss suffered as well as the cost of bringing such a claim. We don't think he will carry on with the new neighbours and is probably glad we are leaving

          I would be saying something about it, make it clear it's not about the property but bricks that he tried to take action about. Sat it's personal issues & personality clash. If there's any part of the property that has ever been impacted & that's been resolved that would be something positive. You can also say that's the issues have been resolved as much as it can be

            Just to add there's a property information form that is standard you could take a look at it. I'd also ask your conveyancing solicitor what should go in it. They'll know how to word it
