Neighbours interfering in house sale

Maybe this is more of a rant than anything else.
My parents have been trying to sell our house, and as of last week sold it to a local couple who love the place (and this was after the house was on the market for a week). So the house has been taken off the market and we have a nice sold sign out the front gate.
My dad received a phone call today from the estate agents; apparently the neighbours from the bottom of our garden (who we don't get on well with at all) went into the estate agents and showed them all the council paperwork together with the complaints they made about the leyllandii trees at the bottom of our garden - a row covered by the BBC too funnily enough(http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/kent/3764310.stm). Summed up, from what I can gather (I kept well out of the argument - plus I was away at uni at the time), basically they were arguing about the height of the trees, and the trimmings/cuttings falling on their side of the fence, and the trees growing over onto their land.
Now we're hoping that this won't put off the buyers of the house, as my parents need this sale really, but it annoys the fuck out of me that those neighbours had the nerve to go into the estate agents (after having spotted our sold sign no doubt) and, whats seems to us, tried to either put our buyers off the house or put strain on the whole sale in general.
Just :mad:.

Next suggestion?
I would be really tempted to tell them to fuck off and die the old cunts. But that really wouldn't help...
Would it be worth trimming the trees down if your going anyway to keep the geriatric cunts quiet?
I would grow the trees a bit taller, hopefully the stress will give them both very long and painful heart attacks.
A cheaper alternative is a couple of gallons of petrol. This will probably melt and destroy a plastic watering can though .
She's a mad greek bat anyway, she was loopy to begin with. Leylandii tree's do grow stupidly large, and yes we have made efforts to trim them down, but the arguments stemed from the cuttings falling on her side of the fence - and my parents even offered to go round and clear up the cuttings when it all happened. Now she just sticks all the stuff off them back through our fence.
She's got nothing better to do obviously.
