'Unruly neighbours from hell' cause 4.5m to move

According to new research from mortgage lenders, Abbey, around a third of people in the UK (18.8 million) have chosen to move house in the last five years in order to find a better quality of life for their families.

Nearly 5.3 million people said the main reason for the move was that there was too much crime in the area and they wanted to move to somewhere their family could be safer. The survey also found that 4.5 million people moved home to avoid unruly 'neighbours from hell' while a further 2.6 million people moved to fit into a better school catchment area.

Regionally, the research revealed that the Welsh were most likely to move in order to seek a better quality of life in or out of the city, while people in Northern Ireland were most likely to move home because of their nightmare neighbours.
