Both properties I have lived in owned by Manchester Domestics were poorly maintained. If it wasn't basic touches like a lick of paint on the outside and maintenance of the front and rear yards it was the sheer filth of the carpets in and around the house, the quality of work done to install most appliances and the overal upkeep and standard of the properties. The houses owned by this property company are kept to a very bare minimum standard of quality, are devoid of any personal touches to make you feel at home and the houses have clearly never seen a decent landlord watching over them.
Seeing as there isn't another box to comment about other tenants I'm going to put it here. Where to begin? Unless you want to live with shady characters, many who are mentally unwell (and refusing to seek treatment), intentionally antisocial, controlling and aggressive then I wouldn't move in. I've met 'gangsters', hoodlums, racist foreign tenants, drug addicts and dealers and depraved messy and disturbed individuals who frequently talk to themselves without second thought of other tenants. I've been met with period blood on toilet seats, constant smoke coming from several rooms despite smoking not being permitted, tenants snorting cocaine off worktops, drinking and shouting out in the back yard, bullying, harassment and general antisocial behaviour. All of which upon being reported to the landlord is sent back with a nice big F YOU. All the landlord has done with me and also various other tenants is denied responsibility and blamed the tenants putting in complaints! The cheek! Nothing is ever done in the property. One room in the property had a caved in roof and took several months for the landlord to fix it. The electricity trips often due to faulty wiring yet the landlord blames the tenants 'for not cleaning the cooker properly', even after the cooker is cleaned as you can guess, the problem persists. The shower at Weaste Lane in Salford appears to be connected via a plastic hose pipe (or something very similar). Both showers at Bowker Street barely trickle water for you to be able to wash yourself with the downstairs bathroom succumbing to damp often, again, nothing is done. At Bowker Street we have had numerous sightings of rats including finding rats dead on the upstairs hallway. There is one small fridge to provide storage of food for six rooms and that excludes additional freezer space and/or cupboards, this goes as protocol for both properties I've lived at. Often petty squabbles over fridge space has broken out despite everyone asking the landlord to invest in another fridge so everyone can have their own space.
