Pretty good place to live, good landlords in my experience

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
I have lived in the area for nearly 20 years now, moved to the Welsh streets over 2 years ago when a property become available. We do get some issues with kids in the area, but this is a wider social issue rather than a PlaceFirst issue - however PlaceFirst provide a secure property to keep you and your belongings safe, we had an issue with the back door and PlaceFirst came right out and fixed it.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Pretty much right away, all of our issues have been resolved without a problem - Sue our Services Manager is always helpful if we need anything, glad to have her back!
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Nothing really, not had any issues and we enjoy our home. understandably the rent increases due to current climate can have a pinch but we are not paying over the top excessive for the house we have. Like for like we would probably be paying more, especially living this close to commutes/parks/shops etc

You can find similar properties in Toxteth for cheaper!

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The location is quiet and away from the city centre. There is a big Tesco nearby, but restaurants and cafes on Lark Lane or the city centre are far unless you drive there. There is an ongoing problem with google maps incorrectly showing nearby bus routes. There is no assigned parking, it's just street parking that the landlord takes no responsibility for. There is a moderate amount of traffic noise, not as bad as in the city centre but definitely not quiet.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
I typically get contacted about seeing to any repairs works within a couple of weeks. Other than that, management response to problems and issues is vague and unsatisfactory.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I had known that they would raise the rent by amounts far exceeding inflation, and force us to sign a new fixed term contract in order to stay. I wish I had known that there are huge inconsistencies across the different properties in the policies they apply to tenants, rents and fees tenants pay, and the information they tell tenants.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Location,, being from the area and working in the city centre - Bad - yearly rent hikes that do not justify the service provided
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
With standard corporate jargon, they won’t negotiate on the rent hikes

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Living in the Welsh Streets has its positives — it’s a regenerated area with character, within walking distance of Lark Lane, Princess/Sefton Park, and the city centre. There are great local shops, cafes, and green spaces nearby, and public transport links are generally reliable, with frequent buses into town.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Issues raised took months to deal with, and in fact some are still outstanding.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
• Rental increases being unfair - forcing people out. • How often people move out • The lack of security at the start of our tenancy in regards to antisocial behaviour • Rodent issues • The huge costs when you leave - one neighbour recently had a bill for over £4,000 for general wear and tear.

Avoid The Welsh Streets At All Costs!

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Living in the Welsh streets for 4 years has been nothing short of hell. I don’t say this lightly- you only have to look at the Welsh streets resident group on Facebook to see just how unhappy the majority of residents are. We are constantly plagued with rodent issues, both inside and outside in the communal areas. When we have contacted them we are greeted with a less than helpful ‘call the city council’. Exposed wires, communal gardens with lights that don’t work, holes left from builders where works haven’t been finished, large rat holes in the garden where our children play.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Until recently, issues were left unaddressed for lengthy periods of time. They have since started acting quicker (I assume for the general dissatisfaction). For example- the communal lights in our garden have been inactive for over 3 months now.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
How bad it really is. Promises of being a family development only to receive email from them to say any unclaimed toy would be taken to the tip without notice.

Dear Rosie, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience living in the Welsh Streets. We sincerely apologise for the difficulties you have faced during your tenancy. We take your concerns very seriously and are committed to improving our services and addressing the issues you mentioned. Our residents' safety and satisfaction are our top priorities. Here are some steps we are taking to resolve the problems you highlighted: Maintenance and Repairs: With the introduction of the Placefirst app, maintenance issues are being dealt with much quicker and we are continuing to develop and improve this process. Communication: We understand the importance of clear and timely communication. We are committed to providing regular updates on the status of reported issues and ensuring that residents are informed about any changes or actions being taken via our portal, app, and email. Community Areas: For health and safety reasons, we have had to address abandoned toys and other items in the community areas. Despite multiple attempts to find a home for all abandoned toys, some were left in poor condition and were not claimed by residents. Consequently, we had to remove them to maintain a tidy and safe environment. Moving forward, we will continue to collaborate with all residents to ensure that every toy and item left in the communal areas belongs to a home and does not need to be removed. We appreciate your feedback and are dedicated to making the necessary improvements to enhance the living experience in the Welsh Streets. If there are any specific issues still unresolved, please contact our management office directly so we can address them promptly. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Team Placefirst
