I have, but thats just me, not sure I'd trust much of what I do...

Can you talk to the surveyor to understand what noise was heard? I have to say this would be a big red flag for me as someone who is not hugely tolerant of noise.

Yeah. Go scope them out. Say hello. If they are crystal meth heads or have three rowdy jumpy toddlers then maybe have a think about things.
Worth just loitering around at different times of day to check out whether there’s some dick nearby who is partial to loud techno each and every evening until 11pm. These cunts do exist and you don’t want to exist near them.

@dbadger
Our building survey report red flagged noise levels, apparently the walls are thinner than current standards (the house was build in 1890, go figure). Apparently the surveyor could hear the next door neighbours.
My gf and I have previous with noisy neighbours and are sensitive towards the subject. We aren't allowed any more than 30 mins access to the property, and must be accompanied by the estate agent, I doubt we will be able to accurately assess ourselves in such a short window.
Would it be appropriate to knock on my prospective neighbours to introduce our selves and get their views? Or is this uncouth? Has any body introduced themselves to future neighbours before in such a manner?
