Has anyone lived in a converted flat? Am I right in think the noise insulation is terrible, especially for ground floors?
Ive lived in victorian conversion flats for my entire adult life, and living below someone can be absolute hell. The basement is the worse as the ceilings are generally lower, I nearly had a breakdown when I lived in a basement flat. I didnt sleep for almost a year.
Insulation is one thing, but it needs to be done properly for sound isolation and proofing, it is quite a complicated and skilled process to do it correctly. As there are no real laws around how buildings are converted its very rare to find any that have been done properly.
I live in a top floor now, which is bliss as I dont need to listen to footsteps of people walking around above me, but I still have to listen to them underneath me on their work calls 9-6, however as they are considerate and respectful and quiet people its something I just have to accept - Id much rather that than parties and surround sound av systems...the people before them were assholes and life was tough, so silver linings en all.
