The flat itself was lovely and done to a high standard, however our experience with the landlord was just so difficult from start to finish.
To begin with, my bathroom had a mould problem in my bathroom due to a lack of ventilation or fan which I reported to the landlord (Jenny Maidwell Smith) in October 2019. It took months to be resolved, and I had to eventually threaten council intervention if this wasn\'t fixed. Eventually, in late February 2020 - nearly 5 months later - I was given a dehumidifier after the landlord claimed (wrongly) that they hadn\'t been made aware of the problem (she had been - five times in writing via email and WhatsApp). This was especially distressing since I have breathing issues, which were exacerbated by this problem, and I was essentially blamed for letting the problem get 'out of control' by the landlord instead of simply being apologised to for having to put up with it for so long. There was no adequate ventilation, no windows, in a bathroom, which is in direct contravention to the Housing Act.
