“Just one other general observation – anyone looking for a simple “magic bullet” answer to any problem in strata is likely to be disappointed. But you could have the same issues with a noisy neighbour in a house and have even fewer options in terms of effective responses. Use all the resources open to you and you’ll get the peace and quiet you crave.”
Spot on JimmyT – many of my friends tell me they would never consider a strata property after hearing of my tales of woe but then I hear from freestanding house dwellers whom have some similar stories. I do accept these situations can be more common in close living quarters however we have to deal with all types of neighbours anywhere & everywhere we go … there is always the lure of the remote property in the country.
