Ah so you're the landlord who is plastered all over the internet owning 59 Richborne Terrace. Thought about viewing that property but decided against it after what was written about you not repairing the property and how it was not legally safe. The mould photos are awful. How can you let people live like that? And the photos of no bathroom floor. ...

I was offered a discount as a long term landlord user of the service, but it appears that hasn't been translated to upper management. I'll soon have to source through documents just to obtain the tiny reduction offered.
