Tenancy review for 27 Gayhurst Road in Micklefield, High Wycombe

Property rating: 1

The condition of the property was old and very worn. Everything installed is done cheaply which is obvious from the out set. Only benefits were a private driveway. Most of the out buildings have the landlords property in so they’re a bit pointless.

We found out the previous tenants had been subletting and in total 6 adults were living there.

Area rating: 1

It’s a pretty rough area and I thought I’ve seen it all in my time. On several occasions we’ve had the police show up to our door looking for previous tenants. We’ve had people randomly knocking at our door at 3am asking to come in.

One time there was a robbery on the other side the estate (you could see all the police and commotion happening from our back window) one of the robbers ended up in our garden and escaped through the side access (property is semi detached). We had to sleep with bats next to the bed as we were so scared. As soon as I found out I was pregnant we knew we had to leave. A woman was also sexually assaulted about 200 yards from this property the week we moved in.

Cars rev up and down the hill every night which will keep you up. Car accidents are regular occurrences and the police are nearly stationed in and around the estate 24/7.
