If you have an attached garage, you can put it on the side of the house facing the busy road on the bottom to increase your privacy...and decrease any road noise through the outside wall.I'd probably do the same as the neighbour pushing the house as far away from the roads as possible, but offset your house a bit (put it a bit closer to the road on the right). 

Our economic reality is that the majority of Americans have no savings and only put aside a very small fraction of their paycheck in the belief that nothing really bad could possibly happen to them, that stability is an integral part of the society they live in.My own life experience has been that things can change drastically very, very quickly.A large part of that has been watching economic developments in the country of my birth, Greece, where I lived for seven years from 2000-2007 as an adult and got my start in residential renovation, From 2008 to the present day, I have watched the country transform into a begging pauper-state wholly in thrall to its financial overlords.

IF they provide a survey that is meaningfully different from the others, you will either have to take it to court or come to an agreement with your neighbours t needs to be papered and registered with whoever is the local land registry authority is.Oren

Here's an overview of my situation:-Neighbour of my mother-in-law is looking to sell privately, his children/family aren't interested in his house.

Encourage neighbours to phone the police if they feel threatened.  

Neither am I exactly (my credit utilization is high currently leveraged in my marketing company)The property owners live in Greece and the property is poorly managed due to distance I suppose.

@Aviv BerkovitchDo you know any of the neighbours? 

But post-Patriot Act, I have to go by the name printed on my Consulate Report of Birth Abroad certificate, which was taken from my Greek Orthodox baptismal certificate in 1976 and transliterated as the full, most formal, religious form of my name.I used to live and invest in Greece.Just try to get something like this done over the phone with an Arab name in Greece, something good and ethnic like "Imran ibn Tarik al-Shamoon."

Even if a tenant did opt to call and complain it would take a very long time to convince the annoying neighbour to move away.

You could also ask the tenants or a neighbour as they would have seen them taking off the old shingles.
