Hi all, I recently purchased a two bedroom purpose built flat , the flat downstairs has a tenant who snores really badly, so much so I can hear him from most rooms of my flat when he does so.
i can hear him move around his flat , pulls the light cord switch in his bathroom. Etc etc, I can cope with that,and when kids kids come over and are jumping up and down for a few hours, laughing or having tantrums I can cope with that ,
The issue is when he goes to sleep, he snores so badly we can’t get to sleep , or he wakes us up with the snoring, I have tried earplugs, and they don’t work.
My adult Son has said we can swap bedrooms , we tried this but he has said the snoring is off the scale and can’t sleep either, we can hear the snoring in all rooms of the flat to some degree, but the main bedroom is a no go, the last straw was when I found my son sleeping on the kitchen floor , as he could not sleep in the lounge either
I have tried talking to the neighbour , but the talks have broken down , I enquired about noise insulation for the floor , but have been quoted between 5 and 10k to do two rooms , and there is no guarantee it will work as the sound could be coming through the walls, and I don’t have that kind of money
i am literally hanging , knackered call it what you will, I even thought about putting the flat back on the market, but becuase I have had discussions with the neighbourbelow , I would have to divulge the noise problem with prospective buyers, and who in their right mind would then buy ? Do I have any recourse with the owner of the flat below regarding his tenant , what other options do I have ?
Thanks
