Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Got booted out a couple of years ago as I demanded they do some repair before upping the rent. They never did and still haven't refunded my deposit as I refused their extra bill for "utilities and internet" which is paid separately. Also they only tell you when you are in that you can't choose electricity supplier as there is a contract on the building. (Is that even legal?)

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Secure entrance did't work and homeless people were sleeping in the stairwell.

What is the best feature of your home:

It looks good until you move in. The damp and dirt is astounding. They never cleaned the flat before me moving in. There was rotting food there that had been there a month before.
