Can You Sell Your House with a Neighbour Dispute? Yes, But Be Honest

Thinking of selling your property but dealing with a tricky neighbour? You can sell, but you must disclose the issue.

What Must Be Disclosed?

1. Ongoing or past disputes including verbal disagreements or unresolved issues

2. Written complaints such as letters or emails to or from your neighbour

3. Official complaints involving the council or other authorities

4. Potential future issues that could lead to a dispute

Why It Matters

• Legal requirement You must declare disputes on the TA6 Property Information Form

• Risk of legal action Withholding information could lead to claims of misrepresentation or mis-selling

• Worst-case scenario Buyers may seek compensation or even try to undo the sale

• Honesty builds trust Clear communication can actually reassure buyers

Takeaway: You don’t need to hide a neighbour dispute to sell. Just be upfront. Transparency protects you legally and helps maintain buyer confidence.
