Hi SA, Sorry to hear you are in this predicament.

No you are not doing anything illegal prossying.  You dont say if you live in a Council House/Local Authority House or Private Let. 

As you say you were sitting in the garden I am assuming it is a "house" with an upstairs where your neighbour can go and "make his recordings".  You cant exactly have a fence high enough to hide them if someone is watching for them.  Have you noticed if they fitted a security system at their house since they arrived.

Your "let agreement" will more likely than not state in some form or other that you cannot "run a business" from your home which is where things sorta fall apart.

It all depends just how far the next door neighbour decides to take it.  They cant prosecute you for being a prostitute but there is more than that involved here.

As nothing else was said and all else was whispering, Im sure they knew you were there and perhaps waiting for a reaction but that is just assumption and we all know what happens to people who assume things .... and we get paranoid.

I hope it all goes well for you.  Let us know of any further developments.  May be time for a move and maybe that is what neighbour
is hoping for.

Stay safe.

Do you mean you are renting from a friend ("rent to" makes it sound as if it's your house and you rent it to them not from them).

Sounds as if they are just trying to make something out of a few observations, and see what your reaction is. So long as you work alone, and are causing no nuisance there should be no action the police can take.

I think your family is right and while you dont say anything they will never know for sure if you heard anything  over the wall/hedge.

What age are the neighbours?  Do they have children?  Do you have children? 

AFAIK you ARE only allowed to film you own property.  I really dont know what they can gain by going to police but im not them and im not police either.

Its not a nice situation i agree.  I would just work on discreetly and see what happens.  After all, your home IS NOT a brothel if you are the only one working from there.

Do you ever have girlfriends round to keep you company while working/visiting and could be mistaken for other WGs working from your property.  So many different things to think about sadly.

But bear in mind that you ARE being watched, of that there is no doubt now.

Take care.

Could they perhaps be able to hear sex noises or your conversations with clients through the wall when you're in the bedroom. Years ago I once got a talking to by a neighbour who said he could hear me discussing bookings with clients and then having sex with them whenever he was in his bathroom every evening

Its amazing how many giveaway signs there are when we get started isnt there?  Not helping you though OP.

What is at other side of bedroom wall?  Adjoining walls? 

When it comes to police visiting I think it is just down to how they are in your area.  In Scotland they are SOOOO intolerant its not real but could be different in your area.

Just be aware of noises in next few days and see what happens.

there is adjourning wall but my bed is in the middle of the room

No, gosh what rude people. It is illegal to film without consent. Especially as the content of the film sounds like he captured you bonking or something :S. If anything he could get in trouble, but you are fine, dandy & legal. Maybe they can hear you but if it gets brought up say it would have been nice that you would have came to me first, you feel attacked & know that they have unlawful filming of you. Some people flat out don't know it is legal so you've got nothing to worry about apart from narrow minded neighbours.
