Glad i found this as im pre-emptively worried about the same issue.
My little place is nearly ready for hosting, i own the drive which my neighbors have access to...
Heres the issue, the new neighbors are second home owners and its their pride and joy. Unfortuanly, they where not made away that they own a small fraction of the drive and have access only, they also didnt know about the land restrictions. I was also not at the property for the first year of them being there and the sudden show of people with the gardening and cleaning has annoyed them greatly. To the point that the wife is screaming at workmen for parking on the drive to unload due to her parking in a area which is against the land reg covenant....i sent her the detail via a solicitor, made the situation worse.
Im writing my welcome pack up, including clear instructions to avoid anyone being bothered (im not mentioning that the neighbor should park where she does) with site plan etc.
My issue is kinda the opposite to what im seeing on the forums, im worried about MY GUESTS BEING BOTHERED by prickly villagers that should have looked into what there buying rather than target my guests.
Im hoping this will not be the case, but personal friends have been bothered by these neighbors but i think thats cause theyre linked to me. Im hoping complete strangers will not be approached.
Any way, what's the best course of actions to deal with intrusive neighbors? I feel it will put people off returning. The drive is shared and the neighbors are busy in summer, so privacy is not fantastic as is.
I doubt an injunction would be granted at this stage, and id rather deescalate the situation. Ive had cctv installed but im also worried that will put guests off too. I will be showing them the system if they request for reassurance.
I hope that this summer will settle the tensions, but the wife seems hell bent atm.
So, whats the deal with neighbors sabotaging holiday lets??
