Moving House | Viewing The House (2)

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

Viewing the house:

Go back several times. Is the property sellers TV on? They might be trying to hide the noise of their next-door neighbours blaring TV or stereo. Ask the sellers to switch off their T.V. if necessary.
Do read through the Sellers Property Information Form ('SPIF').

Listen for any sounds from next door. Put your ear to the wall if necessary (be discreet!), knock on/along the walls, if someone knocks back loudly you know they can hear you and are most likely liable to react to noise.
Ask the seller/landlord if they have ever had any problems with crime or gangs in the local area.
When viewing a property, if you see something that appears to be a joint responsibility with a neighbour or where you may need access, knock on their door to talk about it.
Don't rush into buying/renting your new house. DO take the time to check it out. It is natural to want to get away from your own NFH (Neighbours From Hell) as quickly as possible, but you don't want to end up with a different set of NFH.
