Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Sound proofing in older conversions - any regulations/links to please?
I am aware that some legislation exist for newer conversions but can not find anything about the need for the landlord to provide adequate soundproofing in older ones.
Landlord being L&Q - if it makes any difference.
Paper thin walls and no soundproofing whatsoever.
Short of having to do it myself - are there any regulations that would force landlord to do something/anything?
Any pointers?
Thanks a lot

It's pretty common in old conversions, more or less standard.
I don't think much can be done other than moving, though perhaps someone will know otherwise.

It's very difficult to do these things once a building has been built, which is why there are more regulations for new buildings.
New build flats are indeed very well sound proofed.

If the property was built before 2011, there is nothing you can do. You should just bite the bullet and sound-proof it yourself. I've helped some friends do it. If its done properly you can't hear a thing.

Have a look at section D of part E of the building regs
