Q: Basically, I quickly sell my house, now some of the neighbors have disputes with my neighbors, which, as I always did fine with them the past 3 years. It has been associated with the noise, I really need to make it public?
In reality, people don't divulge this information. I bought a house where they had failed to divulge that they had even had to call the police on occassions because he was violent The other neighbours were quite happy to gossip with our tenants and tell them that our vendor had loved the house dearly and had only sold because of next door :confused:
Having spoken to our solicitor on the point, she said we were far better just selling it on ourselves than going through a costly process which we were likely to lose. Luckily, for the poor woman more than anyone, they split up and moved on quite quickly.
We were faced with a similar situation 5 years ago when new neighbours moved in next door. They were HORRENDOUS and 'forced' us to move. Now, we didn't disclose this to the buyers as we knew they would not buy the house. I felt dreadfully guilty and for two years after, worried that there could be repercussions, but now, after 5 years we have heard nothing. Phew!
I did read a story where there had been a neighbour dispute that wasn't disclosed and the new people sued the vendors for 50% of the property value -￡67,000 and WON! The buyers have two years after the sale of the house to file a complaint, so just be very careful.
they have to prove that there was a dispute, very hard to do, unless its on paper, if yorve had verbal disputes then nothing can come back at you, your word against theres. we moved from nutty neighbours and yes you feel crap, but just coz i didnt get long with them dont mean to say new buyers wont
