However hard we try to get along with our neighbours, we may at some point find ourselves in disagreement with them. Quite often, such disagreements are due to a lack of understanding or them not realising that they are doing something that is upsetting us. The most common causes of neighbour dispute are noise nuisance, pet issues, parking, boundary disputes or anti social behaviour from children, other household members or visitors. On approach, it is hopeful that such differences can be resolved quickly and amicably: your neighbour may be horrified to realise that they have been causing you some discontent. On the other hand however, your neighbours may not wish to compromise on their behaviour and remain adamant in their belief that they are not causing any problem. If resolution cannot be agreed by both parties, there is a danger that what was once a minor disagreement can escalate into a long and expensive legal battle, and neither party being able to communicate with each other in the future. In extreme cases, one party may even have to give up their home and move away because they are no longer able to live alongside their neighbour. Mediation is, in comparison, a very cost-effective way towards reaching an amicable solution. Mediators are not there to judge, express any opinion or advise, but to listen to the views of both parties, and work with them to accept and agree on solutions to their issues. Mediation works well because the mediator will work with both parties, either separately or both together, to agree certain steps and actions, which means that if adhered to, further legal action can be prevented. Mediation may also help to restore good neighbour communication and relations and slowly help build up the friendship that existed before the conflict.
