We live in a nice detached bungalow and since 2010 have endured a neighbour who over this period has reported us for illegally throwing garden waste into the wrong bin,playing loud music from a 1 watt radio from my garage at 11am, while exercising on my treadmill, complaining that we had installed an illegal brick block drive without planning permission.
Over the last 6 months ,just as we are about to sit down for lunch, he has taken to slamming a sledge hammer onto his garage floor, which has now taken a toll on my wife's health.
All his allegations have been dismissed by the authorities and we have not sought legal advice as we have no wish for their to be any record of a neighbour dispute when we eventually sell the property when house prices eventually recover in our area.
He has also told lies about my wife and i to other neighbours, several who will not speak to us, suggesting that we are perhaps benefit claimants or in some way, on the fiddle, which we are not.We have both worked very hard all our lives for what we have and there may be a degree of jealousy as we enjoy a comfortable lifestyle.
A Palace fan of 40 yrs standing, made the mistake of leaving the Croydon area to retire down on the South Coast.
Any suggestions of how i could reasonably deal with this problem would be very much appreciated.
Thanking you in anticipation.

Depends on how long you intend staying and whether you think the neighbour will move on himself. The most obvious first step is to try and talk to him and try the "we are sensible mature adults and both want a quiet life" approach. If that fails I would suggest asking informal advice from the local council.
Keep a record of every incident with dates, time, duration, any conversations you have and names of witnesses. None of this will be any use though unless you have made repeated polite, calm and reasonable approaches to try and reach a compromise.
If it does come to a formal dispute then you need a long standing diary of events that, when taken as a whole, adds up to a pattern of antisocial behaviour.

Other options are; actually do stuff to get his goat so at least when he does complain he is not just doing it to cause you stress which he is now.

Have a face to face.

Accept he is mentally ill and sell your house on the quiet.

Take some legal advice ...you don't necessarily have to implement any action. A letter from your solicitor may be sufficient to shut him up but moving away may be the only solution for your total peace of mind.

I once had a thug for a neighbour and fell out with him over a blocked drain which was nothing to do with us. (My son and I don't use tampons!!!). He threatened me and I stood up to him face to face - nothing of course happened. However, soon afterwards there were overnight attacks on my property - gouges on the bodywork of my car, plants dug up etc. Total scumbag - even when we were on speaking terms he was boasting of having contacts who'd "take out" people for £1,000. I always presumed he didn't just mean out for day trips but what a ridiculous thing to put into a conversation?

As they say, there's nowt so peculiar as folks!

When he comes out of his house one morning, smack him in the face with a hammer.

I'm sure a few of the elite members on here could give you advice on disposing of a body and covering your tracks.

He wants help with his neighbour, not a date.

I'm also a fan of the softly softly approach.
