Do you have to divulge neighbour disputes when selling. No police have been involved only verbal threats.?

Question

After 28 years these newcomers have made myself and my other neighbours hate the area we are in.

Answer 1

Id it affects your life and the comfort of your living area then this must be divulged as it would influence a buyers decision. If found out at a later date after the new owners have moved in then they could come to you for compensation. Tell them but be a little vague such as. They are not very friendly so I have nothing to do with them.

Answer 2

Only if the potential buyers ask you specifically about any trouble with the neighbours.  Although if nothing is documented anywhere it would be very hard to prove anything. - UK.

Answer 5

No you don't need to tell the people you're selling your property to about them, but I'd recommend showing people the house when your neighbours are out. It'd just make it easier.

Answer 6

no , it's happening to me it's just so annoying .  

Answer 7

Under UK conveyancing law you are required to notify potential purchasers of all disputes with neighbours, past and ongoing.

Failure to do so is misrepresentation and leaves you wide open to being sued by the purchasers.

Answer 8

As far as I am aware, if the person viewing specifically asks you if you have any disputes with the neighbours then you are not allowed to lie. Just hope they don't ask and if they ask what the neighbours are like just say you keep yourself to yourself. Like I say, it is only if they actually ask if you have any problems with them.

Hope this helps

Answer 9

I assume that this is a UK question.

It's 6 years since I bought my present house and I  remember having to complete 2 forms that were given to me by my solicitor during the sale of my old house. One was for contents and the other was for details of property fencing, utility suppliers and general points, I vaguely remember a question on whether I had had any unresolved disputes with my neighbours.

Answer 10

no,its not specifically related to the property.as long as they never cross your boundaries to engage in a dispute,then there not related.

if the buyer asks about the area,just say that the neighbours you know are very nice...this would be truth full as i would assume that your not exactly on best terms with the trouble neighbours

Answer 11

no, although the people who take on the property may sue you for misrepresentation.
