Most people (98% of those surveyed*) appreciate the impact their home has on their sense of wellbeing, which can be thrown into turmoil if problems with neighbours present.
Nearly two thirds of Britons (64%) have had a dispute with a neighbour**, with Welsh residents having the most gripes (72%), followed by those in Northern England (70%), South West England (69%), South East (63%) and Scotland (60%).
The key reasons for disputes include loud music (28%) and loud parties (26%). Territory-related disputes fill the next three spots – overgrown trees and plants (19%), parking over driveways (17%) and putting rubbish in their neighbours bins (16%). For some, noise problems intensify to such a degree that 16% have actually moved home. With more people spending time at home in lockdown, it has been a time to reflect.
