Letting agent review for Belgrave Inc, Bath
Agency rating: 2
Easy to contact via email and text messages.
Did replace a faulty mattress in one of the bedrooms after some persuasion.
Have still not fixed the inadequate heating in the large downstairs bedroom despite multiple requests dating from April to January, and have constantly pushed to invalidate my complaints about the lack of adequate heating in the room when the temperatures in the room are a health hazard. Have now had to call housing standards to issue a notice to remedy.
Did fix the shower running excessively hot, but only after six months of the tenancy, several contractor visits and badly bodged temporary repairs.
Were rather stubborn when asked to correct errors in contracts regarding the provision of appliances, and not especially thorough with checking them in the first place.
Will try to con you out of responsibility for repairing the washing machine, by claiming it doesn't belong to them.
Have stopped us installing a smart meter in the property even though a landlord is not permitted to unreasonably obstruct this.
The agency is called Belgrave, an asset management firm that has its own (highly incompetent) property managers.

Property review for 1 Prior Park Road, Widcombe Lyncombe, Bath
Property rating: 5
No mould except sporadic random spots in the bathrooms when the extractor fans broke and in the extremely cold ground floor bedroom
Bedrooms are of widely varying size and come with largely acceptable quality furniture. The two small rooms on the middle floor objectively aren't good, but the rest of the bedrooms in the house are well sized.
All bedrooms run cold and the windows are very draughty.
The living room sucks and doesn't even come with a dining table of any kind. And has no natural light.
Kitchen is bright and airy, but gets very cold in the winter. Same for the downstairs bathroom and the entirety of the stairwell. Temperatures pose a health hazard to vulnerable people
Freezer space is WOEFULLY inadequate for six residents.

Area review for Widcombe Lyncombe, Bath
Area rating: 10
Widcombe is basically perfect as a Bath student, especially with the new Morrisons.
Have absolutely loved it here. Brilliant area. Super easy, safe walk to the Bath Uni campus too if you're able to deal with the hill and take it slow.
