Tenant 1

Overall the property was too expensive for what you get. The social space was excellent, but the kitchen was very small and very awkward. Location was great. 2 minute walk to train station and easy walk to campus up the hill. There is a parking space that can fit 2 cars on the premises, but the landlord uses both spaces mon-fri (you have to ask every time to use at weekend, or it’s £150 fine). She is quick to respond to problems, but money hungry for sure, and not accepting for any ideas that would benefit your living. 3 very large rooms, 3 small/medium rooms, and 1 tiny room. Cleaners come every 2 weeks and do social spaces, but they stopped halfway through the year with no explanation. The property is on a busy road which can be loud at night, quiet enough with windows shut but not ideal when it’s hot. To conclude, half of the property is very spacious, the other half is very cramped - there are some great advantages, but also hindering disadvantages (especially 1 fridge/freezer and only space for 2 people to cook at once in a 7 bed house!) - the landlord isn’t very reasonable but will sort problems quickly with few questions. Location is great for city centre and shopping, but is 20-30 min walk from Oldfield where most students are.
