Alfresco butchery working out of neighbour's yard
I live in Brum but I'm not saying where for obvious reasons. We moved into what we thought was our dream home just under a year ago into an area 10mins walk from my work with great schools and excellent facilities all round. However, it wasn't long before we realised we'd made a big mistake. Our neighbours have re-defined the term 'unhygienic'. They have a toilet that constantly leaks urine etc. down the side of their house opposite our kitchen, their garden looks like a refuse tip, they smoke so much dope that it seeps into my son's bedroom and our bedroom and recently they were operating their own alfresco butchery.
Their front garden is constantly heaving with rubbish and they love to throw their empty beer cans into my front garden. They are rude, abusive and constantly shout rather than talk. We are now looking to move a.s.a.p. and are frantically decorating to get the property ready for sale. God knows what price we'll get for it now. Are there any neighbours worse than this?

Neighbours live double life as noisy zookeepers
My neighbours are council scroungers who never do a days work but have always got nice clothes on, they always play drum and bass music to early hours of the morning and have loads of pets which include ducks, rabbits, dog, lizards, birds and god knows what else. The back garden stinks to high heaven of pooh, and they never cut their front hedge and if you try to talk to them you get a load of abuse, which is not nice. We have tried to sell, but once the estate agent sees next door's garden they say you might have to bring your price down a bit because of the sight and smell, which I feel is wrong. If you complain to the council and environmental health about this, you legally have to advise anyone who wishes to purchase your house that you have done so, even if the last complaint is less than two years old.
