Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Has anyone got any advice as to how I might handle the hoarder who lives next door to me?

Without going into detail, suffice to say, things can only get worse. I've had rats in my garden - though I can't prove they came from next door(!) - and my cat is going mental indoors as she can hear ‘something’ behind the wall, er, scratching sounds, day and night.

I've lived with the unsightly, falling-down appearance of his house for years and its impact on the resale value of my property, but vermin is another matter.

I've been in touch with the council before - but didn't get very far.

Any ideas anyone?

It's obviously a very sensitive subject, and I'm at a loss as to what to do, as he owns his property and presumably can do as he likes!

Many thanks in advance.

I agree. If you saw my neighbour in the street, you'd never guess. It's a very, very tricky situation, indeed. And not a quick fix.

Depending on your ward, there are at least one or two councillors who may be helpful in getting the problem looked at, with a view to offering help to your neighbour.  I'm sending you a Direct Message request.

Thank you. That sounds really helpful.
