NIGHTMARE. House was dirty when we moved in, toilet was gross, rubbish left outside and garden overgrown. Constant maintenance issues which were never fully. There was damp and mould in multiple rooms that was reported in September. After months of keeping on about it multiple different people came to look, eventually we got the SU involved as the damp was getting worse. Every time we asked what was happening we were told the landlord wanted more quotes, in February roofers came to fix the guttering and a leak that we had, we were then told our kitchen ceiling was unsafe and that it could collapse at any time. This was in the middle of a lockdown, we were asked by Simon if it was possible for us to go ‘home’ for a few days or stay with friends (me and my housemate both live three hours away, and were worried about the pandemic). They offered us rooms in college mews, we declined as we didn’t want to share a kitchen during a pandemic and didn’t see why we should have to move into shared accommodation that we’d both heard terrible things about, they then said we could get a room in a hotel.They were only offering us a twin room, we were paying for separate rooms in our house and both had uni lectures to attend online, also shouldn’t have to. Eventually they said we could have a room each in the hotel after we had to explain a lot of personal issues. During the three days we had to stay there no one from lighthouse checked to see if we were okay and we never got an apology. Not only was this stressful but also cost us a lot of money that neither of us had, we had to buy every meal from a takeaway as our rooms didn’t have a fridge/microwave, we asked about the money and we were told that the landlord had already been kind enough to pay for both rooms and that he only HAD to give us the money for our rent of those three days (which was less than it cost for one room). We then had to keep asking when the damp wall would be sorted, it was getting much worse. At one point we noticed damp around a light switch and a plug socket, we were worried, an electrician came out and it turns out there was water in the plug socket! We were finally given a date for damp specialists to come and sort the walls this was the end of march. We were told it would take a few days but the contractor was unable to finish it as he had another job to go to, we were left with bare brick walls for nearly a week. When this was plastered we were told it needed to be decorated, as we still had a while until we moved out we assumed it would be done before then. It was not. We had many other issues one being with the drain for the toilet, it constantly got blocked so we were unable to use our only toilet, we had many drain specialists out, multiple told us they needed to put a camera down to see why it was blocking and it would happen again if nothing was done, this was passed on but nothing was done until we kept on. Once, it got blocked on a Friday night, I emailed them straight away hoping for a reply in the morning, I then phoned the office at 11am on Saturday but there was no answer, so i phoned the emergency number. This was then passed on to lighthouse who messaged me to tell me someone would be out to fix it Sunday morning, when I replied saying that we could not use the toilet, there was no reply so I tried phoning but the phone was off. We were left until Sunday without a toilet, so over 24 hours. I also did not appreciate the condescending tone of many emails and phone calls, one example is the email attached from Peter Hill explaining to me what a plumber does, what an electrician does. They made us feel as though we had no right to report these issues and we felt as though they didn’t believe us. The only good thing about being with lighthouse was Dan the maintenance man. He is lovely and nothing was ever too much trouble, he would always help us out where he could even if he only came round to sort something else out. Such a lovely guy he deserves the five stars but sadly the company he works for definitely do not.

    What agent could do to change your mind?

    Not being rung up at 9AM to be asked if another tenant is in, not to be spoken to so rudely when i express my concern about the time they are calling me, and to fix problems within a week AT LEAST.
