Owned by neighbor who moved and is renovating to rent out. We rent so I'm not sure they would be sympathetic at all to any request we make : (

Not sure but...

Is it owned by neighbours or by by a developer?

If it's a developer then I think they'll less likely to be sympathetic, if it's a neighbour can you appeal to their sense of good neighborliness?

Good luck!

We are the lucky neighbors to a home that's being renovated (she says sarcastically)- unfortunately for us by what seems like the most unprofessional and messy team of builders ever known to man- and I'm wondering if there are time limits on these kinds of renovations. Does Wandsworth Council put a cap on how long a project like this can go on? They've been hammering away since June and they don't seem anywhere close to being done. I checked online but can't seem to find an answer.
