Dear Kati, I have completely followed your ordeal here (also in the garden thread). I mean ordeal seriously and not ironically. I find it very terrible what you have to go through.
Nevertheless, if I were in your place, I would take a deep look inside myself again.
Who or what gives you the guarantee that it will be better in the new home?
You will not be able to choose your neighbors anywhere, nor know in advance what awaits you.
Here in our immediate neighborhood, we have a very similar case.
They built new just like us. Moved in half a year earlier. Their neighbor is also so inconsiderate. In this case no music, but constantly many visitors on the terrace in the evenings with loud laughter (there is this kind of laughter that drives you crazy if you hear it constantly). The guy is the type "it’s carnival (we’re in Bonn, the stronghold), so I will blast the whole street with loud carnival music from Women’s Carnival Night to Rose Monday because I can’t celebrate anywhere else due to Corona". The guy has visitors all the time. During that time he stood with his visitors in front of the house until late at night with his jester’s cap and “entertained” the entire neighborhood.
The other family has two small children. Apparently they couldn’t sleep for months. Meanwhile, we have repeatedly noticed how loudly they argued so everyone could hear it. Police or regulatory office was on site. The guy is obviously not very reasonable. Corona rules not observed? Fine? Don’t care, I pay. It’s my right. Kiss my ass.
Very difficult situation.
Then we heard that they, like you, considered selling the newly built house.
Because of this guy!
Now we could observe how they built a gabion fence towards their neighbor. It has also been noticeably quiet with the guy for some time.
Was a lawyer possibly involved? No idea.
What I want to say is: you have no guarantee that it will be different or better elsewhere.
I would rather break off with the neighbor and take the risk that the relationship is ruined for the future. I have experienced that myself.
But give up my hard-earned life dream because some idiot shows no consideration?
Never.
On top of that, I fear the chance of finding a farmhouse with fiber optic that stands completely alone, without possibly disturbing neighbors and that is also affordable... is close to zero.
Seek the conversation. Constructively. If that doesn’t work, then have the facts objectively examined. And if necessary, then let it come down to a legal decision.
But give up my “life dream” for neighborhood love?
Never.
