I just moved into a mid terrace. advice needed from other mid terrace people.?

I have just moved into rented accomodation in a mid terrace house built in the 80's. I am having a few teething issues. Does anyone here hear nextdoor going up and down stairs? the odd door closing now and then, TV on now and then? kids running about til 8pm?





Is it just me listening out for these noises or is this just the norm. My missus can not hear it but i can. Am i just focusing on the noise too much?





She has always lived in terrace houses but my last home was my family home and a semi with 1 old lady living nextdoor with her cat. I never heard a noise. We do live quietly with no massive TV or loud speaker systems so do i just need to get use to it?I just moved into a mid terrace. advice needed from other mid terrace people.?
I lived in a detached for most of my life- in Australia so my nearest neighbour was a good 5 metres away on all sides- so when I moved to england it was a bit hard to get used to. I lived in a semi detached for awhile with an older lady next door which wasn't so bad- I'd sometimes hear her tv or radio but not all that often. I now live the middle of a row of fairly new houses and can hear the neighbours a fair bit. Mostly when they're on the stairs or if they're moving something big. You do tend to get used to it though and like someone else said- they have to put up with your little noises so it is a bit of give and take.I just moved into a mid terrace. advice needed from other mid terrace people.?
Yes it is normal to hear some degree of noise. I have an old lady one side who's TV is behind the wall my TV is in front of. Occasionally I can hear her TV muffled in the background. The other side I used to hear the owner running upstairs occasionally, but he moved out and the new people are having a whole lot of work done. None of it is loud enough to cause an issue. You will get used to it eventually.
you are normal if you are not use to all the noise then your bound to pick up on it


i can hear my neighbour slamming cupboard doors dragging the dinning table across the room to be honest it drives me mad but then im sure at times they can hear me so its about give and take but at the same time being considerate them of you and you of them good luck
I have a friend who lives upstairs in a midterrace flat and whenever i go to his house i can always hear the people downstairs and next door but he says it's just normal and part of living like that. I personally wouldnt like it though..
I also have an 80s terrace. Everything since the 40s seems to have been Jerry-built so the walls are thin. I can hear the neighbours using the stairs too, but I think you get used to it.
we live in a house built in 1910 and we can hear the neighbours but the worse part is there bedroom must be next to ours as when he is on mornings you can hear his alarm clock going off at 5am.
It is mormal to hear sounds from next door,It is called people living,
Yeah I here my neighbours too but so does my mum and she lives in a semi (her neighbours I mean not mine!!). You get used to it.
chill out and you will get used to the noises?
You'll get used to it, count yourself lucky, I live in a back to back so have neighbours on three sides!! I think it's something you'll get used to. I've always lived in terraced houses and I don't really notice it now, when I do it doesn't really bother me. When I was growing up I lived in a terraced house built in the 80s and everytime anyone else in the terrace shut their front door everyone else's backdoor flew open if it wasn't locked and from my bedroom I could hear next door going for a pee in the night as my head was next to their toilet!!
get used to it?


count yourself lucky more like!


my neighbours have the worst relationships with each other and i get to hear all about it.


The parents go away leaving them to party all night long. Then come home and believe nothing has gone on. How dumb can you get.


They brother and sister beat ten barrels of sh!t out of each other all the time and thats just one family.


New years night there were riots for three hours with cars being smashed up and burned blood everywhere and no cops until the following night.


Even the cops are scared of this area!!!!
