Perfectly legal

So I would just give them very cheesy smug grins every time you see them 

  The property is not rented its private  on a mortgaged with us.
   thanks for your comments on my neighbor  problem (  Friday and  Anika  Mae)  much appreciated.  x
 
 

Yes, I understood that you said you own the flat, but please make sure you're clear on the leasehold/freehold thing. Most flats are sold on a leasehold basis, where you buy the flat but someone else owns the land it's on and you pay them rent annually. If you live in a purpose-built block of flats you don't own the freehold. If you live in a conversion it may belong to one of the flat owners, be shared by all of them, or belong to a third party. It's possible that you own the whole freehold yourself, in which case everyone else in the building would be paying you rent. If that's not the case then you have a share at best and you need to check your contract.

Yes, you're right, we just got stuck on that because the freehold thing wasn't cleared up. Houses tend to be freehold but not always. Just make sure you know what you have.

    she saw me walking my new dog a few days ago and asked what his name is  i told it was chullo and its spanish slang for pimp    im sure she is now telling everyone that my dog is my pimp     

PMSL Paris!

if thats the case then there i dont think that there much she can do to stop you from workin g from your own home,   but  its the mental strain of having someone like that knowing what your doing ect thats often the more pressing issue

   i dont know what the law is with regards to your husband living with you ( i did think that this law was changed living of immoral earnings and didnt include partners and kids but i dont know maybe someone else will know ) worse is that she could report you to the council as a change of business from working from your home
   or inform all the other neighbours b

   thats what i thought as most people /neighbours arent as stupid as we would like them to be  ( ie blind deaf and dumb would be the perfect neighbours  imo )  so she had probalby picked up on it in the past  and woudlnt say anything untill it directly bothered her now it has she feel that she can moan at you and im my experience it will probably esculate  if she is anything like people that i know off 

  its a pain that you feel that you have to move but if you do and your planning on working from your home again  then i would reccomend looking at houses /flats in a totally different way to one that you want to live in

 if its possible you might want to consider renting  out your house and then rent a place to live and work from  as this will give you more flexability should this happen again in  new houswe  and you need to move again   
   
 end houses  are often good because they often have a side /back entrance and a front door and you have only one direct neighbour to think about

houses that have back entrances ( excuse the pun)

large blocks of purpose built flat with intercoms

basements flat but depends on who lives above you       
     
visit the area at all different times of the day /evengings and weekends  places change totally when people are at work /at home   

Oh and if you do decide to rent out your house then  what I would do is rent  to some really nice but  noisy students ,  you know the ones that smoke weed all day long, never go to lectures ,  have massive house parties every single weekend  and piss of all the neigbours with there coming and goings  Give her something to really moan about she will be wishing that your back living there   

 I should have explained the property is a house and freehold on a mortgage paid by me and husband
 and its our place of residence and home.
 Have lived here some 20yrs ( been working last  4yrs from home ) in what you say Paris i would agree
 she already new what i was doing before the said punter knocked on her door and no doubt annoyed her.
 My husband just wants to get shut and move as he as always hated the road ( was his late mothers house )
 so he has lived here for 38yrs,

 Anyway  the long term objective is get away before the light evenings return next summer hopefully!!.
 We just slog along paying bills and credit card debts ( gosh how stupid getting caught in the web of those things )
 No you don't get rich doing this work well all we have done  is survive  and since the neighbor thing
 if i had the money i would quit now and husband totally agrees but catch 22 as they say.
 Sorry to go on......XXX
 
 

Yeah, the law has changed so the husband should be fine, just make sure he's not doing anything that could come under "controlling", like dealing with your calls or emails.

Like Paris said there's very little they could do officially, just make things generally awkward for you. You should be all right until you can move on.
