Report
What our carpets have looked like since moving in and they have avoided fixing. Still have a list of snags which haven’t been sorted and we’ve been living here for 3 years. Whole building and neighbours have… all had lists of problems, leaks in walls and ceilings, mould, pipes bursting, patchy uneven plastering, poorly ventilated bathrooms, broken fittings, sewage smells within the walls. Terrible experience.
