Bryn Melin 2, Deiniol, Bangor, LL57 1HT

The only nice thing about the property really was the location, with nice views over Bangor and the Menai strait and easy access both to the town centre and Bangor Mountain. Unfortunately, despite the potential for 2 Bishops Mill to be a lovely property, it has suffered from poor maintenance. Rather than employing skilled and qualified tradespeople to work on the house, the owners often attempt work themselves (e.g. flooring) resulting in poor quality work. There are large cracks running through the house where the plaster is crumbling off the walls along with patches of damp and mould. The velux window in the attic room had a large hole below it between the wall and the window frame where you could literally stick your fingers through it and outside the house. She filled this with expanding foam which didn't do much to help the draft. Carpets are old and dirty, and we ended up buying most of our furniture from Relics because the furniture provided was falling to pieces. When we moved in, she claimed the house had been cleaned over the summer but when we arrived it was filthy and we had to spend hours cleaning dog hair out of the carpets and there was dog mess everywhere in the garden. The oven was encrusted with old food and had clearly never been cleaned. There is a persistent leak from the main bathroom shower into the kitchen which previous tenants warned us about - we asked that it be fixed before we moved in but a few months into our tenancy it started leaking and it wasn't fixed until we called the council on her. Future tenants should be aware that she tends to make the cheapest most ineffectual fix to any issues (if any effort is made to fix it at all) which inevitably results in the problem coming back after a few months.
