Moving House | Checking The Area (3)

Read our Moving House Tips to help spot Neighbours From Hell!

Watch out for:

Neighbours who spend a lot of time on porches, garages, and out in driveways.
It may be benign, but it could also mean that you can expect lots of late night talking, yelling, music, and unsupervised children, and the feeling that someone is watching you whenever you are outside.

Neighbours who leave out footballs, toys, bicycles, and electric scooters and toy cars.
Potential dangers due to unsupervised children, especially when combined with the above.
Neighbours who preferentially park cars on the street. Is it a Cul-de-sac and could this cause access or other problems? This can create hazards and makes the neighbourhood look 'trashy'.
Neighbours who listen to car stereos, radios, or play musical instruments outside or in garages.
Be especially wary of garage bands and cars with heavy-bass stereo systems and/or loud exhausts.
Neighbours who have many different visitors at odd hours.
Neighbours who never hear their own dogs barking.
Neighbours who hang out in small cliques, while those on the street as a whole keep to themselves.
Frequent moving and high number of rental properties. Are your neighbouring properties being rented out? If so, this could mean frequent changes of neighbours that may result in nuisance neighbour activity.
Be wary of nearby non-residential use, including churches, businesses/factories, schools, pubs/clubs, and day-care centres.
