I rented a flat of Northwood in Aberdeen it was a horrible experience. I work offshore so didn’t realise a lot of the problems until I came home at which point I notified them immediately. First problem was a leaking cistern. I reported the problem. No-one bothered to come out to record so I ended up fixing it myself at my own expense. I then found a fault on the boiler. Had to constantly keep topping it up, which was a worry considering I’m away so much of the time. I reported this and switched boiler off whist I was away but during the time I was away offshore I had a flat inspection. They switched boiler back on, even though I had reported the fault and on my return the boiler was dry!! They still hadn’t rectified the problem! I also came home to a leak in the ceiling in the sitting room. I took videos and pictures of the leak and again reported the problem. No-one came out to look at it bearing in mind this was end of December and very cold weather. I handed in my notice in February because I couldn’t live in these conditions. Faulty boiler and a leaking ceiling where constant water was dripping through. I cleaned the thoroughly, bearing in mind it was a 1 bedroom flat and I was barely in it. It didn’t take me long. On leaving I was presented with a bill for 7.5 hours cleaning at over £200. I queried this with Northwood and they advised I would have to take it up with the cleaning company as the charges are “out with their control”. I have complained to Landlords Scotland but still have not had a satisfactory response from Northwood. Steer clear from this company! They are crooks! Substandard accommodation and rop you off at end of tenancy!
