Neighbourhood and local area reviews for renting in United Kingdom

The direct neighbourhood isn't the best, but being a gated community, this wasn't an issue. You are really close to hyde park and the city centre.

Local area is nice but definitely not worth the hassle of living under this agent and landlord.

Please don't waste you r money with this agency. We stayed at the property for six months and had worst every experience with them. When we moved in lots of things weren't fixed and we were told it will be fixed once we moved in but nothing happened during those six months when we stayed there. Lots of emails and calls were exchanged but these people don't listen at all. After we left property we kept chasing them for our deposit. we cleaned everything and 21 days later we got email saying somethings weren't cleaned and they want to deduct £75 from deposit. We would have taken them to court but we are working professionals and don't have time for solicitors. We just wanted our deposit so we agreed to deduct £75 but still haven't heard anything yet. I got annoyed so decided to write this review so to warn other people before we take any property on rent through them. I hope this will help other people. I have got all the emails which were exchanged with them in case any wants to see proof.

The shops are only a 5 minute walk away, as are bus stops. Never had problems with neighbours except some bin stealing! Very quiet at night as it is effectively a dead end when the botanic gardens shuts. VERY close to QUB, only a 3-4 minute walk.

Horfield. Pretty okay area full of students. Given the distance from city centre and the university though, I would say it's too expensive

Nice area. Loads of other students about and close to Woodhouse Moore, shops and the university.

Five-minute bike ride to town centre is all downhill. You can go via Bridge Street, Viaduct Walk, or through the forest along Lade Braes. Close to Aldi, M&S, and Morrisons. Quiet street near Canongate Primary School. House is on a corner so the only neighbour is an elderly woman.

I enjoyed living in this area as it's close to the Botanic Gardens and Hallow Hill. There aren't many student flats nearby, which might be a positive or a negative for you.

Can’t say, have just moved in. Will update again in a few months time when i have had a chance to interact.

The neighbourhood did not feel safe and there is only on street parking. I had to call the police about neighbours. I did not feel safe.

Neighbourhood is close to a lot of cool areas but felt unsafe at times because of fights outside.
