VERY hard to be "short and to the point"-because there are so many details important to understand just what is going on here: 1)-I can say this, ever since my husband and I got approached by one of the neighbours 6 doors down (all houses are attached-townhouses-our new development built 3 years ago-the walls are not insulated, and you CAN hear what people on the 1st floor are saying on the top, 3rd floor IF YOU PUT YOUR EAR TO THE WALL and "go out of your way to directly eavesdrop and snoop by listening"-It is possible to hear what either side neighbours are saying and doing. The thing is all of a sudden this "swingers" thing came up (please don't ask-apparently they've all been doing it for 2 and 1/2 yrs. now-the 6th house down,&the neighbours on my immediate sides (there are many others,but not relevant to keep this as short as possible)-We politely told #6house that we are not interested in that type of thing,and they were OK with that. The BIG real problem is,since last summer when we declined that "suggestion/offer"(if you will)the immediate neighbours on both sides have become ULTRA paranoid, have had fight with #6 for approaching us. The worst thing here is: We have a young son, and even he is affected by this-the people on one side are 6-7 early 30'ish and they apparently all "get together"in the middle of the night in the room behind my sons bedroom. They do their swap thing,and the OTHER neighbour on our other side (we are sandwiched in between them)apparently have it recorded, and they all profit from it. This is not here-say (if they never affected/bothered us,I'd not care at all)so these 2 separate houses are used for swapping/swinging and making live porn tapes, the neighbour on the opposite side had told us he was in the "movie making industry when we first moved in, then the nature of it came out one night when these 9 lunatics were having a huge brawl outside,which quickly was brought inside, but it was the same as if they were 6 feet away from me due to the building so poor. I am in law-enforcement, K-9 asst trainer by trade, BUT have not been working for 5 yrs now due to SERIOUS neck injury from hit and run drunk driver whilst I was 7 1/2 mnts. pregnant with my son., and they all know that. I smell their pot smoke and have asked nicely if they would kindly take it outside because the odour was going in our home and my son had smelled it. Basically shortly after that (I can only say what "I" overheard and then "followed up to make sure")it was clear that they were rapidly becoming big-time paranoid (seeing "tree-police", etc)and were doing the white powder-Which clearly explains the paranoia-STILL, I would not be a trouble to them regardless of what they do and with whom, BUT "they" insist on literally stalking me (I'm their biggest interest)It almost sounds insane to me just typing it: They switch bedrooms around at night (I do that because my son has nightmares-Yes because of them-so I am always going from our room to my son's room and at times take him with me into our 3rd spare bedroom.,and each time I do they switch and you can hear these nutters clearly. They physically press themselves to the walls and listen.You can hear their insane rantings in whispered tones saying things like: "Where is she? I heard her get up and go downstairs" (I would be lying still and hear this rubbish)After a few minutes they'd progress to:"See?I told you, she sneaks out and listens to us and tries to look in here" (NOT)Literally, they comment on my every breath, word, even go into the room behind my loo, and each time I am going to the loo, 1-2 of them go in behind and clearly I hear them"She's on the toilet, maybe she has her mobile with her!?!?!?"-I cannot type enough manic details. They literally stalk me in my own home. I have on more than one occasion tried to get them to stop by going directly to the wall (you cant see them in person, only see them running to their cars when they leave to go to their swinging "parties"-BELIEVE me,I dont care if they swing from chandeliers with elephants and spin around on their heads wacked out on cocaine.!-I've waited until they were literally a few inches away from me by staying dead-still so they cant hear me (that instantly makes them crazy,and they get like in a paranoid frenzy because they cannot figure out "where I went, when I was JUST in my sons bedroom with him during a nightmare he had and cried & got me.-So, when they are good and frantic, whispering crazy imaginative things, you can literally hear them on/against the wall and that is when I tried saying REALLY LOUD "Look you guys, I dont care what you do!-other people may,but I don't-You are snooping and eavesdropping on the wrong person for more than one reason too! (they are freaking by the way because I am getting one of my K-9 German Shepard's sent over to me (1000 miles away)well, sure enough, they heard my personal business, which was arranging to have my worker K-9 sent here so I can assistant

1. go to the police - and inform them of the above - they can put an anti social behaviour order on them

2. get enviornmental health involved in terms of noise levels - if it exceeds a certain amount then they can be prosecuted

3. invest in cavity wall insulation - you can get your whole house down with subsidy from your local council for about £180

4. (and this is me being me) - buy a heavy metal thrash tape, put speaker next to bedroom wall, set it going, then stay in a hotel for the night.... :)

That's what happens when you buy a new build - cheap, thin walls!!



I know as Ive lived in a new house and Im currently living in a 1950's house... what a difference!



It is very rare that I hear a peep from my attached neighbours and they have 4 children!!



Move house is the only choice or put up with it!!
