Horrendous landlord.
All is fine until you ask for repairs to be done.
I lived in one of his flats in Accrington for 3 years. Had damp and mould problems the whole time. Mike refused to acknowledge repairs and told me to move out if I wasn't happy. Instead i opted to report him to environmental health at the council. The council intervened and forced him to do the necessary repairs. As soon as the council told him he had to do the repairs, Mike made it very clear he wanted me to move out, and he immediately added £100 to my rent. Be aware of this slum landlord. He uses the company name Diamond Developments And Lettings Limited. Registered in Warrington.

Not a bad area a bit away from town, very hard to get into town in morning takes additional 30min in uber, but close to bearwood so ok, Tesco not that far by for few bits but not amazing

★★★★★★☆☆☆☆
No bins on some roads means bin bags are left out and rats get into them and litter is strewn about. Convenient train station, distance to Uni, and variety of tasty restaurants (though too many burger shops). Safe at night to walk around if popping to the pub or Tesco. Has an Aldi so no absurd groceries prices. Nice greenery in places with the canals and the park.

Similarly to the house, it is practical but with issues. The amount of shops, takeaways and other amenities is brilliant, especially for university students. However, it is dingy, grey and always dull of bin bags and rodents.

Close to the university with plenty of different food places in the area. Only issue is the amount of students, which means there is not much of a culture to the area.

Convenient for me. Near uni. Near shops. But broken glass on the road. But near park. So yeah
