Tenancy review for 4 Firecrest Road in Great Baddow West, Chelmsford rented from Unknown Unknown

Landlord rating: 1

Landlord has cover for some things and tries to use this to make repairs that ultimately don’t fix the issue

When I first reported the leak I was told it might get better when the roof is fixed and they know there is damp in the property and there is a dehumidifier in the garage I can use. The leaking pipe was on an internal downstairs wall. Took 6 months to first attempt to fix it and 7 months to first attempt to fix the heating. Chooses cheap was to try and get round fixing eg a chemical power flush instead of a proper one despite being told the entire system was full of sludge

Still have heating and leak issue almost a year later with no likelihood of it being fixed any time soon

Property rating: 1

3 bedroom detached house with garage. Leak downstairs affecting the lounge kitchen and hallway (basically the whole floor) mould in kitchen and bathroom mainly due to no heating making ventilation more challenging

Area rating: 9

The local area is lovely, beautiful child (and pet) friendly parks, shops near by, good bus links to the centre if you don’t drive
