I have a problem with the pipes in my house making a god-awful noise.
From a dull groan to a very loud banging. If you run the either cold
tap in the bathroom for a second, then it stops but will often come
back minutes later). There is also a delay on the sink cold tap.

I have sold the house but don't really want to leave this problem for
the new owners - any ideas?

I had banging pipes when I turned the cold water on and off.
I managed to cure it by either closing the main stop cock by a quarter of a
turn or increasing by the same.
This seemed to alter the flow and the pipes no longer banged.
Worth a go.
