We've let it go about 3 years. Its the sort of thing that gets out of hand over time!

If in 3 years you never took the time to approach your neighbours in a friendly manner to discuss the matter, you can wait another few months imo.
Politeness goes a long way, especially if they are not aware of the issue.
If they are aware and you never mentioned it in all these years, they might think you don't bother.

Their house is behind ours. We only see them in winter when they leave the lights on and curtains open!
Incidentally, Court of CycleChat, why aren't THEY to blame for the lack of niceties , eh? Eh?!

I'm not familiar with those kind of houses, but if the back gardens are back to back you must see each other in summer while cutting the grass, etc .... eh? eh?? @matticus
'cmon, 3 years, no chance for an "ah, the weather is pants this weekend"?
I know most folk on my street, have been living here 18 years.
If someone new moves in I always say hi, if they move in very near me I introduce myself, my cat and even my garden
What is this problem that needs solved immediately now, after 3 years?
I stand with my opinion, never mind knocking at their door, get to know them first
I have never spoken to my neighbour opposite however it is a busy main road. He appears to have 2 or 3 Tai ladies who living with him and they all work at Malton bacon factory. Nearly every weekend they seem to set the smoke detector off with something they are cooking. On some summer evenings they get the Karoke machine out and sing till the neighbours next door ask them to tone it down.
Last week during the heat wave he was out cutting the grass on his very over grown plot of land next to his house at 5:30 am
I was very tempted to go and have a conversation with him but I wasn’t sure I would be able to keep it civil.

Lefty tighty. Get it righty.
Ok serious answer.
There's a wall at the end of our garden separating us from the next garden back. It was falling down. I had no idea who was responsible for it so I decided to get it fixed as part of some other work I was having done. But I needed to tell them what I was doing.
So I wrote a letter with all the details, in case there was no one in. Went round and knocked on the door at about 7pm one weekday IIRC There was someone in. Had a chat and handed them the letter.
Are they exhibitionists? 😂
For all you know there could be a golf/pottery making/swingers forum somewhere with an off topic section where someone is complaining that their voyeur neighbours have been causing them a boundary problem for the last three years.
