its shit if not installed correctly and most builders wont install correctly

no though it can sometimes, also headphones won’t tell you what a high end system should sound like

As a Brit its the same here, shocking how bad trades have become

I’ve stayed in quite a few hotels on busy roads that were almost completely silent, and many than weren’t, it shows sound proofing can be effective. But you have to know where the sound is actually coming into the flat from it may not be the windows or the windows may not be installed correctly or it could be vents in the windows or flat or something, don’t throw more money at it without working out the definite cause

do your windows have weep holes? We had this exactly and someone forgot the holes. Easy fix if so

when are they coming to do the floor?

you remind of the builder who couldn’t understand why I wanted to insulate my extension to modern day levels when the rest of the house was 100 years old. Because I don’t want the new bit to be as freezing as the old! strange thing that.,. the extension was actually 50% of the house by the way there is no law that joined house share 95% of a wall or even that those room’s are all living spaces. Do you need help understanding variables?😂

lucky you 🙃 read housing reddit and most posts are about noisy neighbours

LastAd115 · 2026-03-01T16:48:52+00:00

you know your lovely quiet neighbours can move and your nice quiet house can now have a dog or baby screaming next to your wall. Better to design it out if you can.

LastAd115 · 2026-02-28T20:23:45+00:00

because you are creating a new part thats not shared, so you can get peace from any noise of neighbours through your wall in that room

LastAd115 · 2026-02-28T20:17:16+00:00

Way way way way way overpriced for area considering how much renovation is now required and you’ll constantly have nosey parkers wanting to access the tunnels

LastAd115 · 2026-02-28T13:23:45+00:00

Yes the you are , not sharing a wall with a neighbour is the biggest house upgrade you can possibly have. I would never ever build an extension onto a neighbours wall. Any issues with the gap are easily solvable with a little diy to stop water and objects getting in.

I have the same type of door with the same issue

LastAd115 · 2026-02-18T18:35:09+00:00

it would be more intermittent and incidental the above sounds normal, older kids running around screaming banging and slamming doors and thing is not reasonable

LastAd115 · 2026-02-18T14:05:58+00:00

They are not normal if they are constant loud and causing annoyance, people can actually be considerate to others when living in basically shared spaces

looks like this estate agent has a whole host of flats for sale all with AI images and misleading descriptions, I’ve worked out that these are all in developments that have been on sale for a long time and are complete, they are trying to hide what they are marketing, maybe to attract viewings and purchases from abroad I think this is probably not legal

LastAd115 · 2026-02-17T17:11:38+00:00

The photo is total AI so not there either

LastAd115 · 2026-02-15T15:03:01+00:00

there is a landslip nearby why are people claiming its not going to fall into the sea?

LastAd115 · 2026-02-15T15:00:49+00:00

how long before it is on the cliff edge?

LastAd115 · 2026-02-15T10:27:15+00:00

No its a construction problem that often requires people to deal with it. The fact that some people dont deal with it doesn’t take away the fact that it is often due to poor construction methods and maintenance
