Jolene couldn’t wait for her big move. She had finally saved up for the deposit she needed and was moving in with her partner, John.
She couldn’t believe how stressful moving was! She had rented a few times previously, at university for instance, but spent most of her time at home with her parents. However, most of the stressful stuff had been done – surveys, solicitor’s fees, understanding her new lease. She was nearly there now and could look for...ward to her new home.
Jolene was moving to the nice part of town. She was lucky, as she had grown up in Folkestone and knew the roads and areas she wanted to live in. Luckily, she had found her property, slap bang in the middle of her favourite area in the West End of Folkestone. Nothing could go wrong for her now, right?
What Jolene and John were not aware of was that in the property downstairs, there is an elderly lady with two small dogs. One of the dogs is quite old and is no problem, but the second dog, is extremely yappy and noisy. It is a friendly dog, but due to her neighbour’s carers arriving at 7.15am every morning, the dogs wake up and the barking begins around 6.45am.
The barking occurs regularly throughout the day. Unfortunately, due to Jolene’s neighbour’s age, she is unable to get to the dog to stop it barking effectively.
John has sent a number of letters and had discussions with the neighbour. This has caused a frosty atmosphere between the two households. They have even tried to get the council involved with the issue but unfortunately they are so stretched, nothing can be done.
If only Jolene and John had contacted Kent Investigations for an N.A.C, (a Neighbourhood and Area Check). They would have known about the situation with the dogs and could have done something about it before they moved.
