Can I take legal action against my neighbour?

Yes, you can take legal action against your neighbour if their behaviour qualifies as a nuisance. You may be entitled to pursue a claim if the nuisance is causing you significant financial loss, distress, inconvenience, or harm. Legal action is often a last resort, so it’s usually advisable to try to resolve the issue amicably first. However, if attempts to negotiate or mediate the problem fail, and the nuisance continues, you may have grounds to pursue legal action.

Common reasons for taking legal action against a neighbour include excessive noise, interference with rights of light, flooding or water ingress, encroachment of tree roots and branches, harassment (in the context of this being behaviour amounting to a nuisance), illegal activities, trespassing, or any other conduct that significantly interferes with your enjoyment of your property. The type of legal action you can take depends on the nature and severity of the issue. For example, you might seek an injunction to stop the behaviour, or you could pursue a claim for damages if you’ve suffered a financial loss or other harm as a result of your neighbour’s actions.

Before proceeding with legal action, it’s important to gather evidence of the nuisance, such as keeping a log of incidents, obtaining witness statements, or recording any relevant communications. Consulting with a solicitor who specialises in neighbour disputes can help you understand your rights and the most effective legal options available to you. At Moore Barlow, our experienced team can guide you through the process and help you achieve a resolution that protects your interests.
