Rarely (1) neighbours have the best of relationships for any length of time. Of course, some
people become close friends, but only if there is a lot of give and take (2) this possible.
(3) common are disputes between neighbours that there are many laws to cover arguments over
noise, property and rubbish. Before things go (4) far for the relationship to be saved, there are
a few simple things you can do. The first is (5) speak to your neighbour. You'd be amazed at
how many arguments are avoided by (6) a simple step.Not (7) does it give you
the chance to express your complaint, it (8) gives your neighbour the chance to explain and,
perhaps, take action.
Secondly, check your rights. On (9) account should you do anything to damage your neighbours'
property, or their overhanging trees if that's the problem, without knowing what your legal rights are.
(10) until you are sure you are acting within the law should you do anything. And remember - a
little understanding can go a long way.
