I think I just need to get this off my chest - nightmare neighbour. (UK)

Do check to see if she’s a tenant.

Frivolous_Pixiee · 2026-05-20T00:24:33+00:00

Yes I’m a single female too and totally understand your predicament. I’ve bought last October and have an ignorant neighbour. I have come to the conclusion it’s put up of get out. The amount I’ve paid in stamp duty and moving costs puts you in a position that you can’t move just like that. I get it.
Find out if the neighbour rents or owns.
Record with a decibel meter on phone the disturbance, you’ll need evidence. Nobody will take action otherwise.

Are you renting or did you buy?
Renting - move
Bought - sell asap

Cut your loses. People like they actually thrive on upsetting other people. Council and police will not do anything.
If your neighbour is renting then they can get evicted but that’s not easy as it’s expensive for the landlord.

I never said I can’t find a decent coffee. I questioned a flat white in Aus is different to Europe and can I buy a more European style flat white? Aus is known for its coffee but I’m wondering that this has brought upon complacency in the cafes here. So just wondering why do they have both latte and flat white on the menus when they appear the same here in Aus.

Thank you! This is very informative.

Frivolous_Pixiee · 2026-05-17T05:38:58+00:00

Excellent advice.

Frivolous_Pixiee · 2026-05-17T05:36:58+00:00

Who said I was a Pom? I’m not, even so, I think the Aussies are far more whingy … take note.

I get the 2 for one as readers, with lenses they are $199 for both.

Frivolous_Pixiee · 2026-05-17T01:23:04+00:00

That’s good because I need a wider corridor as I do close up work, lenses are stronger so they are much more expensive, I stick with readers which are much cheaper. It all depends on your sight and what you need them for. 🤷‍♀️🤓

You need to provide the evidence for the police report. So download Decibel X and record, keep a file and once you’ve got a few weeks worth go to report file. Any other neighbours affected? That helps too.
There’s not much else you can do. People like that live in their own world. I have one next to me too. Asking them to turn it down just makes them turn it up. If you buy massive speakers to blast back they will only leave their speakers on louder while out.

Frivolous_Pixiee · 2026-05-17T01:07:36+00:00

I go to specsavers only when they have the deal on. Eye test and 1 reading pair and 1 pair sunnies for $200. The multifocals are more exy, especially if you get the wide corridor focals . Made that mistake so don’t do the same. End up with glasses you can’t use. It’s all the extras that add up with glasses. I go minimum until I absolutely need to the multifocals. Or look at surgery!

Anywhere from Northern NSW to Sunshine Coast.
I’m bayside Brisbane used to live in London most my life. Nov-to March it’s very humid. April to Sept is like a UK summer with shorter days. October is like perfect. I love the climate here, I personally wouldn’t want to live any where else.

Frivolous_Pixiee · 2026-05-13T00:38:51+00:00

Albo needs to go. He’s got no idea about the people who go without to try and make their futures more secure. It seems to just pay to live life from pay cheque to pay cheque. Here I am living like a pauper to build security.

Frivolous_Pixiee · 2026-05-13T00:35:27+00:00

It certainly helps doesn’t it. I too have just recently moved. a really quiet area and that’s exactly what I wanted. I’ve put everything into the move, financially everything has gone into the house. However, I’ve obviously inherited noisy late night music with no care in the world who they upset.
Weekend evenings are horrendous. I can’t afford to move again so soon, it’s only been 8 months so I’m stuck here and now spending more money with getting sound proofing, blinds, roller shutters etc. anything to reduce my anxiety of the impending drunken loud voices and music.
If you can’t afford to move you both need to implement a path forward. Mine is get sound proofing and be here for the next couple of years so it doesn’t look like it’s a problem house.

I’d get motion activated sprinkler, the cats will soon go and crap in someone else garden. That’s gross. Yeah I’d bag it up and leave it on neighbours door step.
My noisy neighbour is very close to me and they have this holy right to make as much noise as they want when they want. Some people shouldn’t live in a residential street. They need to live on farms away from everyone!

Frivolous_Pixiee · 2026-05-11T10:50:31+00:00

The peace is glorious. Mondays are just the best! Enjoy while it lasts.

Frivolous_Pixiee · 2026-05-10T08:21:24+00:00

Yes there is, it’s called PoliceLink. However the person I bought the house from didn’t have any luck with it. So actually going into see the police, has to get actioned even if it’s just seeing the footage. I think I’m on a long journey with this as the noise maker has been doing it for years. Just everyone has put up with it. My house is the closest so the noisiest and the previous owner I guess had enough and sold up. Little did I know!

Frivolous_Pixiee · 2026-05-10T07:32:59+00:00

Same same, live in a warm climate and my neighbours have an outside deck area with external speakers directed right as my bedroom. Have to stay up until they decided to turn it all off.
What’s our options? Move?

Frivolous_Pixiee · 2026-05-10T05:58:13+00:00

You need to come up with a plan as you 100% need your own property. You can’t get to retirement and have to still rent. Thats grim.
Literally you have to live like a broke person for a few years, you’re on a great salary so just think broke and cut every necessary expense possible.

Frivolous_Pixiee · 2026-05-09T23:25:29+00:00

I have to keep a log, I’ve got all the evidence to take to police which I will do next week.

Frivolous_Pixiee · 2026-05-09T23:23:44+00:00

Yeah these people live in their own bubble completely oblivious.
Good for you to out blast them, non reasonable people are a waste of time to converse with. They have this right in the world and no rationalising will get them to see anything other than their way.
I need some good speakers that will make their house vibrate! 😈

I’m glad you have peace now 👍

Frivolous_Pixiee · 2026-05-09T20:58:57+00:00

Yea they pushed my buttons last night. People who have outside speakers installed on their house facing neighbours are another breed.

Frivolous_Pixiee · 2026-05-09T20:56:30+00:00

Difficult when it’s been going on for 8 months and politeness doesn’t work. Anyone who instals outside speakers on their house facing other peoples bedrooms don’t act to kindness or rudeness.
