disclaimer:
I lived in a house (not mine, 4 years ago) where the owner got into a massive row (still ongoing I think) their house is listed, Lambeth and Notting Hill housing knocked down and then put up some flats, the noise was terrible. foundations went in all over the place. House developed massive cracks throughout.
ticking boxes for cheaper options to maintain neighbourly relationships isn't always the best way to maintain neighbourly relationships.
