Maybe try to get details of owner and contact him/her if BC fails. If all else fails think outside the box - eg are they late risers who might dislike noise themselves ... Are they below you ? If so you might have to wash your balcony when they are using theirs ... If above - you might need to burn incense every now and then (for your health).? Its amazing how you can accidentally do things that might annoy them ... . Re: Noisy neighbours (using the formal channels) 8Jan 04, 2023 11:53 am Thank you. I will not be doing any kind of revenge stunts, but if they don't heed my polite requests, I will escalate it via the formal channels (Body corporate - formal letter of complaint) as my first next step, however I'm not especially confident it will help, but at least, if the owner sees the complaint, they will think twice about renewing their lease.

I've heard (via my gossipy upstairs neighbour) that the owner isn't happy with the Real Estate agent but I don't know why. The owner may be in for an unpleasant surprise once he eventually sees the place. Re: Noisy neighbours (using the formal channels) 11Jan 11, 2023 8:26 pm How old is the building? the wall between the 2x apartments is called a party wall (its fire rated to protect one side from the other in the case of a fire) it is also required to RW + CTR Rating (sound rating). Quite often you find the builder sort of conveniently forgot to install the batts to achieve the required sound insulation. You might want to check if the wall meets the required standard. You may win by having the agent move on the current tenant only to have a midnight drummer move in! Check the sound rating first! We are Expert Consultant's, and we are here to help.

You may win by having the agent move on the current tenant only to have a midnight drummer move in! Check the sound rating first! Thanks for the reply. The building is about 12 - 15 years old. It's a nice building but we already know that not everything was done as should have. Do you have any suggestions as to how I would find out what the CTR Rating requirement is, and then in turn, how I would find out whether the party wall meets that standard? (I'm prepared to cut a hole in the wall to find out. I've already invested in an endoscopic camera so I can inspect the inside of the walls and ceiling. I just need to know what I'm looking for. I've been considering getting blow insulation put in the walls, but I still need to do more research in case there is a better option.
