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.

One neighbour owns a Rover and from previous snooting I get the impression they are retired, and retired people don’t make noise. But I’ll go and knock to make sure.
The other concern is that we have a dog, and I’d hate to move in and piss my new neighbours off when he barks

Walked by a house recently that had come on market, whilst walking the dog. There was a man stood outside, perhaps 55 but looked 65. He was topless. Had the general air of hoboness, but appeared to live next door to the house on the market, as he stood on its little path strumming a guitar that he could not play a single note or chord on. As he saw me, and my dog, he started to laugh uncontrollably and then sing "shaggy dog... shaggy dog" whilst hammering his guitar.
I did not book a viewing on the house.

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?
