It's a terraced house and the neighbour has been making a lot of noise. Local regulations state that where a neighbour is responsible for 'unreasonable or bestial' noises, that neighbour should be responsible for soundproofing modifications to the party wall.
I have asked him to put these modifications into effect, but he has bewildered me somewhat by telling me that there is no such thing as a party wall between our properties, only what he calls a 'gathering wall'. Does this make sense?
I know for a fact that his rich Uncle X paid for certain modifications, designed by his Auntie Lulu, to his house last year, and yet now he claims that he doesn't know who paid for the modifications. Perhaps, he says, Auntie Lulu did it for him out of goodwill.
Anyway, I think there's a good chance he may be moving out soon. On the face of it this is good news, but I'm dreading the thought that his cousin Little Lord Fauntleroy might be taking over the tenancy. |  |
