But how do the police have the right to stop them?
if it's not a brothel and they can't prove anybody's taking money for sex?

I'd assume
that there were things there that would cause ABH/GBH which in a bondage situation are still technically illegal. They might also have found recordings/films of acts which would certainly give them enough legal ground to do what they have done so far

Generally I'd agree with you,
but it was a semi detached. They could have at least put it somewhere with better sound insulation.

Ah, I guess so
That kind of disturbance is out of order.
I thought they were just closing it because it was kinky.
