Neighbours biggest reason to move house

Rows with neighbours is the most common reason to move house, according to a survey by the home-owners’ association NVM, reports Monday’s Telegraaf.


Some 75% of the 1.5 million people that move house every year do so because of problems with their neighbours such as too loud music, barking dogs, screaming children or noisy parties, the paper reports.
As a result, a number of firms specialising in solving disputes between neighbours have been set up, says the Telegraaf.
