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?
