In short: Neighbour problems can put buyers off, but hiding them is worse: sellers must answer the TA6 property information form honestly about disputes and complaints, and buyers can claim compensation for misrepresentation. Try to resolve boundary, parking or noise issues through mediation or a written agreement before marketing. If neighbours harass buyers or interfere with access, keep records and take legal advice; the police or council can help with harassment and nuisance. Fraser Bond can advise on presentation and timing viewings.
