Buying & tiersPrices, tiers, refunds and exactly what's included.
Which tier should I choose?

Essentials if you mainly want the guides and letters. Complete (most popular) if you want the Case Toolkit that keeps your diary, scores your case and writes the letters. Professional if you may go to court and want the witness, acoustic and court-day materials. Court-Ready bundles everything plus a year of updates. The free check recommends a route too.

How is this different from hiring an acoustic consultant or solicitor?

A consultant or solicitor can cost anywhere from four to five figures and works to their own timetable. Noise Case Pro gives you the same underlying method and the tools to do it yourself, for a one-time fraction of that — with the option to bring in a professional later if you choose.

Do you offer refunds?

Because these are digital products delivered instantly, all sales are final once your files have been accessed, which you confirm at checkout. This doesn't affect your statutory rights if a product is faulty or not as described. If you're unsure which tier fits, take the free check first, or just ask us before you buy — we'd rather point you to the right one than sell you the wrong one.

Is it a one-time payment or a subscription?

Every tier is a one-time purchase — pay once, download instantly, and it's yours to keep. There's no subscription and no recurring charge. (Court-Ready includes a year of “Kept Current” updates.)

Can I upgrade to a higher tier later?

Yes. If you start on a lower tier and later want more, you can buy up to a higher one. If in doubt, start with Complete, which covers most people.

What's the difference between the tiers?

Essentials = the knowledge (guides + letters). Complete adds the Case Toolkit software and editable templates. Professional adds the court-focused tools (witness statement generator, Expert Acoustic Annexe, Court Day Pack). Court-Ready bundles every add-on plus a year of updates. See the full comparison on the pricing page.

Can I buy just one add-on kit?

Yes — the six add-on kits (Court Day, Landlord & Agent, Recording & Evidence, Mediation, Health & Impact Log, and the narrated Video Walkthroughs) can each be bought on their own from the pricing page. If you'll want several, the higher tiers already include them and work out cheaper.

What will a Section 82 case actually cost me?

Bringing your own Section 82 case is designed to be low-cost: you file the complaint at the magistrates' court yourself, so there's no solicitor bill and court fees are modest. Our pack gives you the templates and a ready-made evidence bundle, so the main outlay is your time. Court fees can change — always confirm the current figure with your own court. General guidance, not legal advice.

How it worksUsing the pack, the Toolkit, timelines and evidence.
I'm overwhelmed — where do I start?

Start with the free 30-second check: it reads your situation and points you to the right first move (diary, recording, council letter or court route). From there the pack walks you through each stage in order, so you're never guessing what to do next.

Was this helpful?
How long does the whole process take?

It depends on your situation and how the other party responds — some cases resolve at the neighbour or council-letter stage in weeks; a Section 82 court route can take a few months. The pack is built to move you through each stage as efficiently as possible, with the deadlines tracked for you.

My noise is from a pub, club or business — does this still work?

Yes. The same nuisance law and evidence method apply whether the source is a neighbour, a pub, a club or a commercial premises — and businesses often carry extra obligations (licensing conditions, planning) you can lean on too. The diary, recordings and council route work the same way.

Was this helpful?
Is a phone recording good enough as evidence?

A phone recording won't prove the exact decibel level — it isn't a calibrated meter — but it's still valuable: it shows the character, timing and pattern of the noise and backs up your diary. Councils and courts weigh it alongside your written record. The pack shows you how to capture recordings that carry weight.

Was this helpful?
What if the noise stops for a while, then starts again?

That's common — and your diary is exactly what captures it. A gap doesn't reset your case; a documented pattern over time (quiet spells included) is often more persuasive than a single bad week. Keep logging, and the timeline tells the story.

Is my council covered?

The method works with every council in England & Wales — the guides and letters aren't council-specific. Our site also has direct reporting links for 80+ councils, and where yours isn't listed yet the official GOV.UK route always applies. The council process guide walks you through it whoever your authority is.

What devices does the Case Toolkit run on?

The Toolkit is a self-contained file you open in any modern web browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, tablets and phones — no installation, no account. It runs offline on your own device.

Was this helpful?
Do I need any special software or technical skill?

No. If you can open a document and a web page, you can use everything in the pack. The guides are plain-English PDFs, the templates are ordinary Word documents, and the Toolkit opens with a double-click.

Is Section 82 realistic for me?

For many people, yes — Section 82 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 is specifically designed for individuals to bring their own case when the council won't act, without a solicitor. Whether it's the right step depends on your evidence and situation; the free check gives you a read, and the Section 82 guide explains it in full.

Was this helpful?
Does the council have to act?

Councils have a statutory duty to investigate, but in practice fewer than 1 in 100 complaints ends in formal enforcement. That gap is exactly what the pack is built for — keeping lawful pressure on the council, and giving you your own route under Section 82 when they don't act.

What if I move house mid-case?

Your evidence and diary stay yours — they live on your device, not with us. If you move, your record moves with you; a fresh nuisance at a new address simply starts a new timeline, and the same method applies.

Was this helpful?
Do I need a solicitor?

No — the whole pack is designed for you to act yourself, including a Section 82 case at the magistrates' court. You can involve a solicitor if you choose, but it isn't required. General guidance, not legal advice.

Was this helpful?
Can I use this if I'm renting, or if it's my landlord's problem?

Yes. Tenants have the same right to act on noise nuisance, and there's a route for leaning on landlords, agents and freeholders too (the Landlord & Agent add-on covers this in depth). If your own landlord is the source, the method still applies — with some extra options. General guidance, not legal advice.

Was this helpful?
Who can I take action against — only a neighbour?

Anyone whose noise amounts to a statutory nuisance: a neighbour, a tenant, a landlord, or a business. The council route and Section 82 both work against individuals and organisations alike. The key is the evidence, not who's making the noise. General guidance, not legal advice.

Was this helpful?
Is this UK-only?

Yes. The method, law and templates are built specifically for England & Wales (with notes where Scotland and Northern Ireland differ). It won't map onto other countries' noise laws. General guidance, not legal advice.

Was this helpful?
Will this guarantee my noise problem stops?

No honest product can promise that — outcomes depend on your evidence, the other party and the authorities. What the pack does is give you the strongest, best-organised case the method allows, and the routes to pursue it properly. Many disputes also resolve earlier, before any court step. General guidance, not legal advice.

Privacy & deliveryYour data, and how your files reach you.
Is my data private?

Yes. The Case Toolkit runs offline on your own device. Your diary, recordings and evidence are never uploaded to us or anyone else. We only handle what's needed to process your order and deliver your files.

What information do you actually hold about me?

Only what's needed to process your order and send your files, handled through the checkout provider. Your case itself — diary, recordings, evidence — lives on your own device in the offline Toolkit and is never sent to us. The privacy policy has the full detail.

How is it delivered?

Instantly. After checkout you download your files straight away — the guides, templates and (on Complete and above) the Toolkit. Everything is yours to keep.

What happens after I buy — updates and re-downloads?

You download everything instantly at checkout and it's yours to keep. If we release an update (Court-Ready includes a year of them) you're notified by email with a fresh download link. As with any purchase, keep your files backed up somewhere safe.
