Neighbour has threatened violence but police will not act

Neighbouring bathroom causing damp problems

I have contacted the owner of a property, who lives in Ireland, to see if my builder can be granted access to the property to check to see where a leak is coming from. I arranged the inspection and the builder said the tiles were absolutely soaking in-between the wall with a bath and my property. I believe that it is condensation and possibly the way the tiles have been placed in the bathroom. What can I do?

Neighbouring extractor fan disrupting my enjoyment

The property next to me has an air conditioning unit installed. They also had an extractor fan installed which I believe is connected to a flue. The fan makes a terrible noise and this disrupts me from enjoying my property as I am only 1 yard away from the boundary. I have written to the owner, which is the council, and they have not responded, despite advising me to put my concerns in writing. What should I do about this situation?

Neighbour intimidating and abusive when quizzed about building work
