Landlord rating
Horrible landlord. In our first meeting told me that wifi came with the house and I told him that this was absolutely necessary for me since I work from home, however it didn't work for months and he did nothing to fix it so I ended up paying rent for a house I wasn't living in.
Communication with him was always overly personal in nature and often very critical, and he would often communicate only with my flatmate's mum and not me - giving her personal information about me that I didn't feel comfortable about.
At the end of our tenancy we spent over a week scrubbing the house absolutely spotless but he sent me a massive email complaining that it wasn't even at a basic level of hygiene, won't tell me how much of my deposit he's going to take or even when I'll know this, he's just keeping all of my deposit hostage for now.
Don't move in to any of his properties.
The amount of money I have given him for such a terrible service is astonishing.

Property rating
Property is fine but completely overpriced. You're not allowed to move any of the furniture, but will then get complaints for not cleaning properly, and complaints about moving things that haven't been moved at all.
There is a big hole in the kitchen so you will have a mice come and eat any food in the kitchen, even if it's on a bench.
Garden fence fell down in the wind into the garden - really dangerous and when we asked the landlord to fix it he wouldn't tell us when he was going to come round even though I had work in the afternoon.

Far from the university buildings for the price but at least it was close to the beach. The neighbours at the time were nice but they've moved out now too.
