Banker Sarvenaz Fouladi, 38, who lived in a £2.6 million flat in Kensington has sued her noisy neighbours, Sarah and Ahmed El Kerrami who lived on the floor above her as the noise of the young family on the wooden floors was “intolerable”. The judge ruled that the neighbours must pay Fouladi £100,000 in compensation as their floors had no carpet.
Sarvenaz Fouladi said that the sound of their daily activities, such as children playing or dishwashing used to keep Fouladi up at night as the noise was too loud to bear for her.
The judge agreed with Fouladi's claims that the noise caused by the El Kerrami family had caused a “nuisance”. The judge also ordered the company that owned the neighbour's flat to do work on the floors in order to reduce the noise levels significantly.
The judge also ordered that Fouladi was paid £107,397.37 as compensation, rising by £40-a-day until the work on the flat floors was completed.
