Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

The area is okay. There is a large green area where you can walk about.

Area is fairly decent and quiet. Good for family.

Building often let in people who didn’t live there making me feel unsafe

During our tenancy, we experienced multiple severe and ongoing maintenance failures that were left unaddressed or ignored by the landlord for months.
> Damp & Mould: There was pervasive damp and mould throughout the flat, which negatively affected the health and physical well-being of the occupants and our dog (exacerbating skin conditions and severe allergies).
> Rodent Infestation: We reported rodent sightings inside the property, but the landlord consistently refused to bring in professional pest control services for months.
> Leaks & Property Damage: Persistent water ingress from the flat above caused damage to our personal belongings (including clothing). Despite repeated requests, the landlord failed to resolve the leaks and refused to provide building insurance details as requested under the tenancy agreement.
> Security & Lock Failure: The property door lock was faulty, leading to repeated lockouts. The landlord refused to send out a qualified locksmith for several months, leaving us with an ongoing security and access issue.
Upon giving our notice to vacate, the landlord subjected us to over 25 viewing demands. Access demands were frequently issued with less than 24 hours' notice rather than polite requests, severely disrupting our right to quiet enjoyment of the property.
