To wish my neighbours would stop slamming their front door?

I just don’t understand how some people can be so inconsiderate. I live in a small terrace house in London (before anyone asks, no, there are no detached houses around here). EVERY time my neighbours leave or come home they slam the door so hard it’s so loud and I can almost feel my house shaking.

Last night the door was slammed several times at 1.30 am. I just don’t think it occurs to them “it’s late, people are sleeping so I will open and close the door really quietly”.

And no, I can’t speak to them about it - only vent my frustration here.

Basement flat of 4 here, thankfully I have a seperate door to upstairs that I do close quietly, but every single person in the flats above slam their front door every time they leave.

What doesn't help is some previous tennents broke the handle on the door that leads to the shared back garden, so when it's windy the upstairs front door (that doesn't close properly even with being slammed) repetedly slams too as well as next doors (owned by same shit landlord as "my" set of flats) front and back doors, so it's never ending!

I wish we could move. I really do.

I feel your pain. I have one of those. Our houses are halls adjoining so their front door is pretty much right under my bedroom and they often return home in the early hours of the morning and the door slamming never fails to wake me up. Yes, I've asked them not to do it. No, they don't take any notice.

Could you at all have it repaired..

You have my sympathies, neighbour slammed their door 7 times this morning. They have always slammed the door but got a new one a few weeks ago so I was hoping the door slamming would end but unfortunately not.
