A house that looks reasonably newly refurbished at first glance, however steer clear - corners have been cut in many places. For example, the 'wet room' on the ground floor has been built with not ventilation, without a waterproof or sloping floor, and with just a normal wooden door. Sometimes water flows into the hallway and the lack of a proper door or ventilation means damp goes throughout the house and causes black mould on walls. This was advised to me by a damp expert who I pestered the agency to get to visit, after the landlord blamed us for the mould that was forming on walls and green mould behind furniture.

When we moved in, there was a massive hole in the roof, with water pouring through when it rained - when we viewed it he had told us this was already fixed and just needed cosmetic wallpapering/paint. This was not fixed and made that room unlivable and caused us astronomical heating bills. I would not be convinced that there weren't further structural problems considering the general state of the refurbishment.

The back door to the utility room is not an exterior door so cold comes into the house.

The kitchen and bathroom look quite nice, and the carpets are reasonably good, however the upstairs bathroom wasn't sealed properly so at one point water started pouring through into the hallway - the landlord tried to charge us for this.

Garden is nice and enclosed. Bedrooms large.

The gas and electric were on a meter, which on a poorly insulated, detached victorian house with a hole in the roof meant the group of us were absolutely broke, all the time and the power kept going off. He wasn't keen on us getting it changed to billing.
