CONS
- fire doors not functioning, said they would fix in May before we moved in, didn't fix until second assessment by Salford council in about February after multiple shoddy attempts by unknowledgeable maintenance men
- property was filthy when we moved in, estate agent agreed and then the landlords argued that they had already cleaned it and suddenly the estate agents went back on what they said, asked for a deep clean and the couple they eventually hired didn't even clean all rooms and left some with smears all over the walls
- blu tack stains covering walls from floor to ceiling
- broken floorboards, table and chair
- began renovating the property during the tenancy rather than between tenancies and contractors did so in extremely hazardous manner, our beds were dismantled and tipped on sides
- have to get meter readings every month from terrifying basement with bricks and mouldy cups
- the kitchen countertops are so poorly constructed that they dip (allowing water to pool and nothing drains on draining board, it just sits in manky water)
- house was riddled with mice and many mouse droppings when moving in, lied to us and said this wasn't an issue before but it was
- nowhere near enough storage space for 7 people
- kitchen cupboards not self-contained (open to gap behind them and some doors not closing properly) easy access for mice
- backyard absolutely overgrown with weeds, had to kill them and jet wash so we could hang clothes outside as no dryer inside and originally weren't allowed to air dry clothes inside so that they could blame mould on us if we did, but if they fell off line outside they were filthy again
- relatively small fridge space for seven people one was broken upon moving in
- electrics often would short for no apparent reason and
- oven fan was so loud sometimes you could barely stand to be in the kitchen
- no extractor fan in kitchen but then some weird one put into wall after we raised this that doesn't really cut it???
- front yard filthy overgrown with weeds bins filthy, Mistoria sign outside all time let people know we were students, very cheap rooms next door and big sign for this also that people frequently thought was us.
- usually always cold even with heating on as constant draughts
- mould in kitchen, whole house prone to mould had to regularly clean around windows with bleach
- few amenities: no dishwasher even though it had said this on website at one point, no dryer, one washing machine, originally only one oven for 7 even though housing standards say two, little storage, originally not enough chairs for all house, no TV, poor wifi, no mop, extremely poor vacuum (literally didn't pick anything up)
- I could go on
PROS
most rooms are big, though a couple of box rooms. a bit nicer after renovation but all this was was a (shoddy) paint job and new carpet
