A 6 bedroom house, which could be described as 'rotten on the inside' i.e. it looks new and clean, but has been made/ repaired using cheap materials. Double beds in every room, 5 of the 6 rooms were good sized. But one was a box room above the stairs so no wardrobe or desk.

After barely living there a month, mould appeared on one of the downstairs bedroom’s walls (the landlord tried blaming our housemate for 'spilling drinks in the same spot' who's room was above) after a few emails back and forth someone did come to look at it but nothing was really done. A crack in the living room ceiling which was conveniently painted over before we moved in and progressively got worse while we were there. Told by the landlord that they wouldn't let us live somewhere that was uninhabitable when at the same time another of their properties flooded and the roof fell in due to a similar crack.

The toilet in the main bathroom was a Saniflow and was prone to malfunction, but were told by the landlord that any repairs costs would have to be met by us. On one instance, it continued flushing at random times and so we had to figure out our own way of sorting it out, and a plumber was only called after the council inspection visit.

Also, there was a fridge in the cupboard under the stairs which they should’ve known was illegal and a fire hazard, which again was only moved upon the council inspection. None of the doors were fire doors, and all had to be changed including a door which had been removed from the living room prior to our arrival.

Even though they were having over £3.5k per month from us, the downstairs bedroom (which hadn’t been insulated properly) was so cold that one of us had to sleep on the sofa in the living room.
