The builder is Wimpey,the flats were built in 07,NHBC have refused to act as they don't deal with noise transference and the leaseholder said they have to divide the cost of repair by the number of flats on the complex,this means unless the cost of repair is over £100,000 they will not repair,so as you can see we are stuck in a flat that is not fit for purpose.

The people upstairs are not noisy,the things we can hear are just everyday activities,we should not be able to hear.We sent photos of the holes but they haven't replied bearing in mind we have been fighting this for 3 years.The last time we wrote to them they just sent back copies of every letter that has been sent saying they can't do nothing else.We thought of selling but it is that bad if someone came to view and upstairs was washing up or on the loo they would hear it and walk back out.For instance sunday nights we know she does the ironing and puts it away in the bedroom drawers,we can hear everytime she puts the iron down and opens and closes the drawers.It really is taking it's toll on us,we moved here on the ground floor because of my ill health but now we feel trapped.

Has anyone successfully soundproofed there flat or home,i live in a ground floor of 4 floors and it is terrible,we can hear the flat above using the loo,showering,closing and opening drawers,sockets being used,washing up,preparing food,walking,talking,having sex,etc,etc.The smallest noises can be heard.We contacted the builders who did a sound test and they said it passed but would not show us the results unless we paid £300,they have now refused to do anything else.There are big holes in the concrete that separates our flat from the one above and they will not act upon it.The NHBC will not deal with noise transference and it has just come to a dead end.

He said that he filled it. Took a few drags and then went to bed. Assumed he left it full overnight and then woke up to a dissolved drip tip. Sent from my Galaxy Note 2 Well that is strange,that bit about filling it doesn't show up on my computer,there seems to be some text missing,sorry Rosco |

They should clear it before selling, ask them to clear it because technically it isn't their car to sell until it's paid off I believe! Correct. I used to work in sales at a Vauxhall dealer, this isn't normal practice. Hi Simate,apparently the way they do there finance is called stocking policy,have you heard of this? |

They said when they px'd the car we are buying with the previous owner they paid off his finance,because he bought another car with them they refinaced with there own finance company GMAC.It is strange but they will show us proof it is clear of all finance before we drive off.

They have now agreed to pay off the finance before we buy so the deal can complete.
