What Should I Do If Speaking To My Neighbour Doesn’t Help?

AI Summary

If speaking to your neighbour doesn’t work, Newham says you may need to take further action. For boundary or land disputes, the council suggests getting advice from the Citizens Advice Bureau and, if needed, speaking to a solicitor.

Situation What to do next
Boundary dispute or neighbour building onto your land Contact the Citizens Advice Bureau for advice; you may also need to speak to a solicitor
Water coming onto your property from next door Contact the Citizens Advice Bureau for information and advice
Ongoing noise nuisance from a neighbour Try mediation or an informal letter, then report it online if it still isn’t solved report an ongoing noise problem

If the problem is mainly noise, Newham can investigate certain nuisance cases and may ask for more details after you report it.
