So you have awful neighbours and you decide to put the house on the market, do you tell the prospective buyers about the neighbours from hell or keep quiet.
The trouble is you can get into an awful lot of trouble by not telling them about any problems with the neighbours. Problem is if you tell the buyer your not going to sell the place are you, so what would you do?

I have just such a toxic neighbour, so I would be in this predicament.

However, I regard the dislike as personal. Perhaps some other person may find her to be quite acceptable - after all, she goes to church every weekend (even though that church doesn't seem to teach about showing consideration), and she's always smiling at everybody (even though that smile is sooo false).

Caveour Emptor

I have always thought it was for me to do the research if I was buying.

Hope for the best, plan for the worst

I believe the seller has to fill in certain forms now and declare everything including what sort of neighbours you have if you do not and sell the property to an unknowing buyer then they can take you to court...

My recollection ( although I can't recall where from !)
is that recently this was tested in the courts...
and not surprisingly the people who didn't 'declare' the problems, although found to have acted not very nicely, were not forced to pay anything for their 'error'.

I say 'not surprisingly' because lots of these regulations seem to be put into place without any backing in law - from the people who exercise it, the judges, and so are a worthless exercise -although sounds good.

I think you are in trouble if you don't record any ongoing dispute.

Where I am less clear is if you have, for example, reported an incident to the police. The reason I say this is my next door neighbours have reported their next door neighbours if you see what I mean on 3 separate occasions.

The problem is, it's a buy to let house. Initially they called the police out to stop noise from a party at 3 am (we must be deaf-we didn't hear a thing). At the time, this was the landlord himself. Later they reported a tenant for a party(we did hear this, it was loud and the tenant threatened to kick my neighbour's head in) and, most recently, they thought they heard domestic violence and called the police.

Not sure what position they are in. The complaints are all against the same house but 3 different people.

Apart from that, our neighbourhood is pretty respectable!
