Feel fed up neighbours Forums

Briarose

Hi I just want to get this off my chest LOL one of the reasons (amongst many others) when we changed from a caravan to a MH was the fact that we could have a MH on our drive and be ready to go at any given time on a whim etc plus the advantage of being able to keep a heater on in there in the winter months when not in use.........the twin axle caravan was too big.

Anyway being considerate we asked our neighbours if they had any objection to us keeping a MH on the drive we are detached and so in between us is also shingle etc open plan and their bungalow is set back and several yards from our drive, so no problem with light etc etc at that point they said they hadn't any objections.........and we chose a MH that we loved and also fitted nicely on our drive.

Now today the neighbour has asked if we will be putting it into storage (which I don't really want to do) as he feels it is hard for them to reverse out behind it, we live on a very small estate that is not busy with vehicles coming and going, and all they have to do if they don't like reversing out is in fact reverse their car onto their drive and quite easily be able to drive out on to the road, we reverse our own car out as it is a double drive with no problem at all Shocked

It has really made me feel like moving as I am quite a fair person and honestly don't feel that we are causing them any problems at all, we feel they probably just don't like to see a MH there, but it is our house and there are no restrictions on our deeds etc I really don't know what to do as I hate probs and want to keep everyone happy but at the same time feel it isn't fair that we should have to put Bertie into storage Sad

Their lounge is quite a way from our drive as their garage is this side so nothing that they can see from there etc

I know no one can really help and it is just us that will have to decide what way to handle it etc but I sometimes think folk just like to have something to moan about. GGRRRRRRRR

Your last line sums it up, I'm afraid. Rolling Eyes

Is there any way you can suggest they use your part of the drive to turn round in? Try to accommodate them as far as you can, but why should you put the van in storage at substantial cost & inconvenience jut so that they can back out of their drive without craning their neck?

I would politely tell them that NO I wont be putting it into storage as it would cost a small fortune and there is ample room on my own property to accommodate it and I am within my rights to do this. Tell them they were also consulted first and had no objections.

Be polite but stand your ground.

If all else fails.... shoot 'em Wink

Hello there,

As this is a public forum, I will not mention too much about the dreaded "Neighbours".

We have an issue with one of ours that restricts our choice of motorhome.

I would stress to your neighbours that, you had the decency to ask their opinion prior to buying your van and that you have no intention of paying for storage.

See how you go on.

With a short answer and If it were me,my motorhome would be going nowhere.If theres no restrictions on your deeds I would definately hold tight.

Thats just me though. Very Happy

Must be in the air as we too are having problems with neighbours. They have just moved into the cul de sac to a cottage flat. This has one car parking space and they have three cars!!!!! One being a taxi which they seem to share with another person, this person uses the cul de sac as a car park as he leaves his car here and goes off in the taxi! My problem is he parks directly across from our drive which being at the narrowest point is tight for cars never mind anything else! Just about took his upper body off as he got out of car whilst I was in the middle of reversing out the drive, he was not happy as he had to jump back in car sharpish. Naughtily I was unrepentant as I just said well it shouldn't be there AND you saw me reversing and still tried to get out. Since then he has not parked there Laughing

So I would just tell them in the politest of terms to naff off (sorry if this sounds harsh but have run out of patience with everthing this week Embarassed

)

I can see the 2 sides, But if you are on your drive there is nothing they can do. If theres no restrictions on your deeds then you be OK.
