Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in Worcester

Noisy, not ideal for students at all, barely can get sleep especially on weekends as property is on the corner bya pub and the main bars and clubs

Entrance to building was musty and full or rubbish and broken / discarded furniture. Surrounding area had overflowing bins, rubbish and food produce strewn over the ground

Very noisy as the window is not fixed at all so good luck

St Peter’s is generally a nice area, however the property is located on a road very close to a busy Tescos so heavy traffic noise, lots of pollution, and refrigerated trucks parked on the road with engines running all night for the Tesco, queued up waiting to be ready to unload, and traffic noise at all hours as people visit Tescos. There is also a residential home for people with special needs so expect lots of screeching and screaming from that and their garden. It’s certainly not a ‘quiet’ property. Very inefficient heating and insulation so expect huge heating bills in winter.

Landlords also very deceptive, left garden maintenance equipment in all the photos of the shed, even on inventory however all were removed on moving in!

Noise nuisance have also had to be made due to the recent new neighbour next door who have been a nightmare, moved the toilet inside the property leaving a toilet vent pipe in the roof just metres away from an opening window of this property in the lounge so can’t open my window in summer without the smell of human sewage!

Landlord is known for visiting the property without notice (unlawful), and when they cannot get their own way make false police reports, which thankfully the police found nothing wrong and closed the matter and noted it so they ignore future reports.

Landlord also unlawfully removed my own padlock to secure the side gated access to the property leaving it vulnerable to burglary.

Next door is a nightmare neighbour, fitted a new toilet with the soil vent pipe right opposite my lounge window so when I open it I get the smell of raw human sewage! They also break in to the side passage cutting the lock off the gate which the landlord wont assist with! Regular loud noise from next door which ive had to escalate to the council noise nuisance team. Additionally they park their cars regularly in front of my drive blocking me and visitors in!
The location is fairly good with reasonable access to motorway, and a very close by Tesco but need a car to get to town or other shops.
It does suffer with loud traffic noise, especially rush hour, and can hear motorway traffic at times at night and noise from the nearby Tesco including trucks late at night. Traffic noise makes the garden a noisy instead of peaceful place! There is a care home for people with learning disabilities opposite that you hear shouts and screaming from at all hours. Anti social neighbour next door, building work covered my car in dust and building debris, neither neighbour nor landlord could care less.

Good people living there but feel sorry for them becouse of housing conditions and landlord annoing you

Good location, very close to the university. Small shop nearby. Not too far to town where the amenities are. Bus route. Neighbours not an issue.

Lovely neighbours and great amenities all in walking distance including a park next door.

The area was very nice and had good transport links. It was quite far away from the city centre but had a good amount of shops nearby and was near the main university campus.

Bus route nearby, shops not too far although I drive, other tenants renting property on the site are in the same position with badly maintained property and do not stay over the initial contract period.
