We present a systematic search for new neighbourhood stars among the Liverpool-Edinburgh high proper motion survey which we cross-identified with the DENIS survey .
Their high proper motions ensure that they are not giant stars .
The distances are estimated using DENIS photometry and we found that 100 stars probably lie within 25 parsecs from the Sun .
They are mostly M-dwarfs , and 10 are probably white dwarfs .
This is the first distance estimate for 84 stars among them .
10 stars , L 170-14A , DENIS J0146291-533931 , DENIS J0235219-240038 , LP 942-107 , DENIS J0320518-635148 , LTT 1732 , DENIS J0428054-620929 , DENIS J2210200-701005 , DENIS J2230096-534445 , and NLTT 166-3 are estimated to be closer than 15 parsecs .
In addition , one star , DENIS J2343155-241047 , could also lie within 15 pc if it belongs to the halo .
