The property was tired and horribly neglected, especially the garden which was a jungle when we arrived. The previous tenants had left it in a complete mess - filthy inside (and not cleaned, despite repeated promises from the Letting Agent) and bits falling off all over the place. A plethora of repair issues that went unresolved. The paintwork on the walls had been touched-up with so many different colours of paint (to hide the many different stains and dents - mostly this didn't work) it was difficult to tell what the original wall colour was.
