Background
We believe buyers should know about this when signing a contract, so new residents are unable to make noise complaints against local established businesses. We believe noise/nuisance from local established businesses should be highlighted so an informed decision can be made before contracts are exchanged. Public houses as an example: many are closing every week and it can become even harder to continue to trade, contribute to the economy and be a hub for the local community when a new resident moves in the vicinity and proceeds to complain.
