We have not long moved in to a rented terraced house.. never lived in one before so unsure on this! So we live at number 14
12 - 14 -16 (on the end of the row)
the rear access to the property number 12 have access to our back garden and number 16 to take there bins out and use as an emergency exit
(But all 3 of their bins are kept on the front garden anyway)
We have access through number 16 to take our bins to the front of the house and back but we've moved all our bins to the front now as there is room for them there and easier to keep them there like both our neighbours.
We have been getting on with our neighbours really well (number 12) and have been trying to keep peace with them since at our hold house we didn't have very nice neighbours and made it quite awkward and we are really sociable couple, the new neighbours even came on to our garden a couple week back and sat with us and had a drink with my partner..
This last couple week we have noticed they are friends with our neighbours at number 16 which is great but they are using our garden (both lots of neighbours) to go back and fourth into each other's garden for drinks and bbq's and it never bothered us at first but it's getting more and more often, during the week and weekends and when they've had a drink they're very loud and rowdy and there a bit older than us so it can be quite intimidating.. I am pregnant and due in less than 5 weeks and it's really getting to me the noise and the constant gate banging and the shouting and also tonight I was stood in the dining room/kitchen in just a bra and shorts and heard the gate and two men were looking in (not even the neighbours, friends of the neighbours they have had round a few times and they were even going back and fourth through our garden aswell, I'm not a party pooper or don't want to sound like one of them nagging neighbours but I just don't think it's right expecially number 16 as they don't have any right to use our garden anyway just use it as and when they like, we also don't like the ammount of people that are going through every week with the ammount of parties there having and seeing everything that's on our garden as we've worked hard to make it nice too and they took a few of our chairs the other night but then put them back(which we don't mind if they were to borrow them anyway, just without asking it's like they think they can do as they want with our garden) feels like that anyway .. I don't know what I can do or if I'm just going to have to put up with it with living in a terraced house now but I'd like to think we are in some kind of right for them not to use it as and when ? I don't know who to contact to report it .. expecially with a baby on the way.. we just would like some privacy, we love our new home and have worked really hard to make it perfect before baby comes I'm just hoping we can sort this 😔
