Landlord rating
Awful landlord. Do not rent from Simon & Susan Galkoff. Delayed our move in time. When we moved in we still didn’t have a kitchen floor, bedrooms weren’t finished, painting left undone, wires hanging out the wall not connected so we couldn’t even install our wifi we had paid for. It was an en-suite house and my shower didn’t work for a full month of living there as they had done the plumbing wrong, but landlord kept saying he’d send contractors to fix it and that that had ordered parts but they never did until after a month of begging and plenty of reports. Had raw sewage leaking out by the back door on three occasions, again said contractors would be sent after eventually getting hold of him and yet again, did not. Then blamed it on us and said we would have to pay even though one of the times it happened when no one had been at the house for a month so clearly was a plumbing issue. Never finished the garden, ripped up the previous paving slabs and fences and left a huge pile of rubble with sharp items in for the whole nine months we were there, which then became infested with families of rats. Additionally in the garden left a two foot deep hole in the garden in the alleyway, which some people actually tripped down and could’ve resulted in serious injury. The rubble left prevented us from being able to ge tour of the main alleyway so stopped access to fire escapes which was extremely dangerous. Also a skip and large amount building material was left out the front, which then the council threatened to fine us for even though it belonged to him but he would not clear it away despite our reports. He’s charging me for a smashed bathroom mirror, which smashed and fell off the wall while I was out the house due to it being poorly stuck on with a bit of hot glue, could’ve seriously injured me if I was barefoot in there at the time. No compensation given and numerous more issues through staying there yet would refuse to send anyone out to fix them when the letting agent asked. Stay as far away from renting from them as possible, such an awful experience, do not recommend.

Letting Agent rating
Would take a while to get back to emails, would pass the issue onto the landlord who would pass it onto contractors (allegedly) who then wouldn’t turn up despite us being promised they would. Then would close the issue before it being resolved so we would have to keep reporting and they acted oblivious saying they thought it had been fixed, despite no one ever saying it had. Never did the health and safety inspections they said they would so we were left without a fire escapes route due to all the dangerous rubble and huge hole left in the backgarden by the landlord and his builders. They were rubbish at chasing up the landlord even for major issues such as raw sewage leaking by the back door and up through peoples showers and sinks - very clearly a biohazard. Also maybe very little attempt to help or chase up the landlord when i moved in (to the all en-suite house) and the shower did not work due to bad plumbing, which carried on for a month until they finally fixed it after me begging again and again - not ideal when you’re living with people you don’t know well. Then upon moving out they assured me i wouldn’t be held liable or charged for the bathroom mirror that fell off while I was out due to it being glued on with hot glue, and they’re still trying to charge me for it, after all the other issues we’ve had. Rubbish communication and pathetic efforts made to give us decent living conditions that we payed for. Avoid them.

Property rating
Some of it was nice as it had been refurbished. However so many issues it just wasn’t worth it. Raw sewage leaks up from sinks and showers and in the garden due to improper plumbing. Mirrors stuck on with hot glue and jsut left to dry by themselves so either fell off or wonky. Landlord had no communication so an issues jsut didn’t get resolved in the time they should’ve. With a better landlord and letting agent I’m sure this could’ve been a lovely place to live (if they actually finished the garden by getting rid of the rubble, putting up fences, paving it and sorted out the loose wires outside)
