How do you discourage disreputable looking potential next door neighbours?

Next door are selling up and some new people have just arrived to look at the place with a view to potentially buying it.

This has caused great alarm for me because they don't look like they'd be a good fit for the neighbourhood.

My nephew insisted that I put on some obnoxious and horrible loud modern music but I don't feel comfortable doing that. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Well you need to find a way to speak to them privately. Two options. Either tell them you are grateful they are moving in, because you were sick of all the men in cars pulling up out front of their place and the police were trying to work out if they were selling drugs from the house or running a Brothel there. Or Plan B would be to appear anxious to be sure that the new neighbours would be OK with you doing something illegal in your place.😷
