Should I assume ceiling thumper to get back at neighbor doesn’t work?

by Dsg1116

Link to thumper: https://youtube.com/shorts/BxaEnsDM4zI?feature=share

I have an upstairs neighbor, she rents and I own. I’ve approached her directly before when I found she was noisy and she seemed apologetic at first but continued to be noisy. Had people over late, they talked/played...

You could just wait until one of you kills the other.

Or you could both sit down, talk and grow up.

I guess you could also sell up - but I dont fancy having a adult child living next to me so dont move to the South West...

Sorting out share certificate paid from money loaned from the Residents Association

by Chris321

I know this is long but hopefully it’s an interesting one to get your teeth into and I was a tad wary of leaving anything out that may have been even slightly relevant.

We’ve been left in the lurch after a departure, with no one here really running the show or with an understanding...

The Management Company purchased the freehold title and has been declaring itself a dormant company to Companies House for over 20 years ( which means it should not be demanding ground rent.).

The Residents Association has been collecting the service charge payment from the flats...

Leasehold Alterations for some despite the existence of an Absolute Covenant

by JDA16

I am a recent joiner to Landlord Zone having perused the forum for many years attempting to find the solution to a leasehold conundrum where if I proceed with the same alterations as carried out by other leaseholders, that despite the ‘breach of covenant’ horse having already bolted with several...

by JK0

I love the video. I had this problem nearly 20 years ago. Neighbours upstairs went clubbing until 3am. They were so hyped up they paced the floor for an hour. I waited until I got up for a pee, and held a short plank over the top of the door frame, while bashing hell out of it with my hammer. After...

I can offer nothing of value to eagle2's ,as usual, excellent advice.
From personal experience I will add that I would certainly not agree to becoming Company Secretary. As in most voluntary organisations a few end up doing a lot. If there is anything wrong you end up carrying the can. Why don't...

You appear to have a number of problems.

I am assuming that the Company owns the freehold interest and its name is registered at the Land Registry.

The Company does not appear to be dormant, it is entitled to receive the ground rent and it appears to owe monies to whoever contributed...

Leak to downstairs from my bathroom

by timmasoner

Hi,

A couple of weeks ago, my neighbour downstairs told me there was a leak from our family bathroom to theirs. It seemed it was only happening when we used the toilet, so we stopped using that toilet right away. I also notified my landlord right away. My landlord is very slow in responding...
