Boundary disputes, planning permission and other neighbour disputes can cause neighbours to argue and disagree with each other. If your neighbour has become intimidating for whatever reason then you should avoid conversation.
If you feel your neighbours have become intimidating then you need to use the services available. If your neighbour dispute is for a specific reason then try and sort that problem.
- Avoid arguing
- Talk calmly
- Use a third-party service
Using a mediation service will be your best option, do not approach your neighbour if they are unreasonable and not interested in your concerns! A solicitor can provide and refer you to a mediation service.
Dealing With Aggressive Neighbours
If your neighbour has become aggressive because you have not backed down or disagree over a dispute, call the police. There is no tolerance for aggressive neighbours and they need to know you are prepared to contact the police if their actions get out of hand.
- Contact the police
- Go back into your house
- Avoid arguing in the street
- Take a video if you can safely
