Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

Not a bad area with quite a nice park nearby. All transport links are reliable and you can get a tram nearby or plenty of buses to/from the city.

The area for both properties wasn't to be bad, the neighbours are friendly and there are plenty of transport links to the city center and surrounding areas.

This is a detached house at the end of the high-street with alley ways down both sides. One alley way is locked off which is where our bikes were kept but 2 were stolen. It is a bit of a dodgy area especially weekends when people are often drunk outside the house. In terms of convenience it is very very good

The area is 'a bit dodgy' is how I would best describe it, litter constantly everywhere and strange characters. There is usually a space to park but my car gets takeaways thrown over it. Despite this, it is an ideal distance to town, supermarkets, nightclubs, takeaways, uni buildings, garage and others houses.

It's nice if you like living in a bit of a cult.
Beautiful area, just a shame about the people.

New area very close to the king power stadium so looking forward to catching more games than ever.

Also within walking distance to hospitals and local amenities.

Great area & friendly neighbours
Awful service received... I was their tenant and they left me at the rental property without hot water for over two months. After around nine weeks of having no hot water as the hot water had broken, and having patiently waited for repairs to be made... I was forced to pay someone to fix the issue. Once I had paid for replacement parts and labour for the issue to be fixed, I was evicted by the letting agent & landlord. I always paid my rent and always paid my rent on time.
I also endured two years at the property without any curtains or blinds for privacy at the windows, despite having mentioned on several occasions. The maintainence company consistently failed to manager and maintain the communal areas. A Letting Agent should remain unbiased and work to serve both the landlord and their tenant, yet this Lettings agent seemingly only want to serve the landlord for their own personal financial gain whilst treating the tenant in a disgraceful and disrespectful way. They ought to be ashamed of themselves. Ria Lawrence the branch manager threatened my guarantor over the phone and Michelle Hobbs the branch property manager is completely incompetent, not knowing how to successfully manage a property and the issues that may inevitably arise on occasion.
You’re meant to receive a fair level of service within life, especially when you’re paying for someone’s services... I was ripped off and evicted for no reason, having then lost all my new furniture and possessions as I couldn’t afford to put them into a storage facility. The irony being that I always paid my rent and always paid my rent on time... they ought to be ashamed of themselves.

Lovely area. On street car parking but never had an issue with finding a space.......

Lovely place to live - handy to get to the University and into town. Lots of independent shops and places to eat.

The neighbour upstairs smoked marijuana on a daily basis and argues loudly with his wife on a daily basis. So exhausting.
