Tenancy review for 88 Tower Street in North Heywood, Heywood rented from Amanda Hilton

Landlord rating: 1

Let us live with a hole in our second bedroom ceiling for over 2 years. Leaking all that time, damaged alot of our belongings and we had to take off time most winters since then with chest infections and illness. Ignored most of my communications to get it fixed. When she attempted to get it fixed roofers would go up a ladder with a cig in their mouths and come back down with the same cig having clearly done absolutely nothing. The room was damp, mouldy and cold. It got to the point where I had to report her to the council and it eventually got fixed apparently but never saw anyone fix it and she then continued to let us live with damp, mould and a badly damaged ceiling meaning we were paying for a 2 bed house which we couldnt use one of the rooms. She let us live without smoke alarm for months. Didnt even respond to us on move out day, had to lock up and post keys. DO NOT RENT A HOUSE FROM THIS AWFUL WOMAN.

Property rating: 2

We got what we paid for but the house was prone to damp and mould which was not helped by a leak in the roof. It was extremely hard to heat as ceilings were tall and no doors to stop heat just rising up the ceiling of second floor. Garden was a tiny concrete square with zero privacy. Included creepy neighbour who invited himself over several times.

Area rating: 3

Right near a bus route to Manchester/Bury and not far from bus route to Rochdale/Bolton. No trains or trams though. Short walk to local shops and supermarkets. Town centre is over run by feral teenagers and they are always causing trouble somewhere including starting fires or destroying peoples property or businesses.
