In many cases the morgage company ownes the greater part. Therefore is someone they lend to defies contract surely they have a right to retract the loan. Or the neighbours have a right to contact the lender to point out that this is the case?

is it a leasehold property? I have had reason to request managemt funds direct from mortgage company for a flat that wasnt paying. The mortgage company stepped in then, purely because if the terms of lease are broken then the lease would be revoked and in theory the property repossessed by the landlord.
The lender does not own a brick, they have a charge on the property until a loan is paid, that's it, the lender has no respnsibility for the owner of the property. Deeds are irrelevant in most cases these days and serve as a quaint reminder of the past.
Or are you talking about some sort of part ownership scheme?

The mortgage company is not a co-owner - it simply has a legal charge over the property which is owned by the owners.
The deeds may have restrictions on (such as building extensions, walls or in your case a care of duty to the neighbours) however this is nothing to do with the lender - just as if you were to build an extension you do not need permission from the lenders.
I am assuming that you have an issue with your neighbours regarding their noisy behaviour.
I would inform the Environmental Health at your local council and keep a diary as to when the problems are occurring.

The property is freehold and only 8 years old. Recently I read a case whereby a neighbour made excessive noise and consequently the property was unable to sell when marketed. The neighbour was found guilty of devaluing the house and as a result the court found in favour of the victim and awarded damages of 20 per cent of the property value payable by the noisey neighbours!
