Hi all

I have owned property in Spanish town with maj of neighbours being Spanish and very nice to my wife and young daughter.

Over last year large expat community of owners ie 10 now down to 2 or 3 as recession hitting and problems with long term lease renters.

New neighbour arrives at present mostly at weekends and within 5 mis of arrival plats really loud music smokes copious amounts of hash (smell is so bad I have to close all the windows. Music is then enhanced by their ver loud singing and partying into early hours of morning.

I have spoken to my other neighbours and they have said it's like this every day or time they come to stay. I appreciate the Spanish are more noisier than Brits etc but my other Spanish neighbours have some respect for where we live.

We do not know if previous owners (who were Brits) sold to letting agency etc but will try to find out via residency association.

I do not want to approach them as they clearly do not care as per their behaviour and general demeanour. This was backed up by non willingness of other residents to do anything about this.

Any suggestions? I am now getting so p****** d off that I want to move elsewhere to a detached property to min risk of this behaviour even though I love the town and area we are in.

We generally visit 2-3 times per year for 2 weeks at a time bu this year have decided to stay for 6 weeks and clearly see a lot more of what is going on when we are not there. My relatives who also use the property throughout the year for 3-4 month visits are now experiencing this also.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Scott
