Noisy neighbours or am I being unreasonable?

Options
Hi if this is in incorrect place please move. Thanks

I live on the end of 3, 3 floored town house, I moved in last June and next door was empty til approx September, then problems began!

The amount of noise coming from next door initially when they moved in (approx 8pm on a Thursday) I thought there was burglars there! Realised people had moved in, saw them on the weekend and they apologised that they may be noisy as they moved in. Said fair enough, I'd been lucky next door was empty when I moved in. The other side of them is a lone female. We're all in our late 20's / 30s. Couple living mid house.

I get woken up at 6am every day by banging doors, I don't need an alarm clock. Drilling starts on weekends at about 8am, most weekends! If I go to bed before them I can hear them go upstairs, bang doors again I think they live in the middle floor, it sounds like I have burglars and I've walked downstairs to check more than once! They slam doors all the time, and kitchen cupboards are just as bad - mine rattle when they slam theirs! They have a tendency to drag we assume chairs downstairs which I can hear on 3 floor. Even my deaf dad can hear them talking in the living room. All my pictures are crooked due to amount of slamming doors they do and once they slammed their living room door mine opened!

This morning I was woken up at approx 2am by them slamming doors, they've been in all day and at 5pm they start drilling, and hammering. I try and ensure that they're out when I'm being noisy, i.e. hammering / drilling.

The other side of them shout through the walls to be quiet - don't know if they can hear her, but take it they don't. I asked them how much they can hear from the 2 neighbours - after thinking for a bit he said if they're really quiet they can hear us walking up / down stairs.

They had fireworks about 5 foot from back of houses on bonfire night without even being polite enough to mention it. There's around another 15 feet in garden, so they could have taken the fireworks further away.

They park in front of my house (on a bend) more then theirs and they're friends are even worse (dark cars on blind corners :mad: ), although they block the road when they park there as across road have to park on their side of road.

Am I being unreasonable wanting some quiet and not to be woken up by them and listen to them dragging furniture around or getting told by others "your friends parked and stopped us getting into our house".

Friends of mine who also live mid terrace with 2 kids either side have said how noisy they are when they've visited me, as I think they thought I was imagining it! :rotfl:

Any suggestions, I've tried speaking with them to no avail.
