We lived at 150 Lowerhouses Lane frrom 2023 to 2024 with many issues that was not sorted out beforehand moving in. The house had issues with leaking and black mold everywhere. Even with dehumidifiers everywhere the mold would grow back the next day no matter what treatment. I will always remember the first day we discovered a water damaged cupboard in the kitchen filled with black mold and the only response we received was "use bleach" when it was very clear the cupboard was fully damaged. Radiators did not heat up the house so that made the mold grow faster than ever during winter. The fan and window in the bathroom was too small and you can clearly see the landlord covered mold up with paint. Doesn't help that the paint would wipe off after one swipe. The main and biggest concern was the windows being stuck and with no way to air out or if a danger of fire happen they were stuck. The agency never did fix this throughout the year with no where to air some bedrooms. One of the bedrooms wall was damaged meaning leaking and drenched in water so the whole wall was covered in mold and at the time the other tenant slept in there and he was getting ill and it worsen his skin condition x2 with full body rashes. I told them the first day i have asthma and the mold will affect me and it did. Couldn't breath, out of breath, nose bleeds and hyper sensitive nose. At one point i lost my voice throughtout the week from inhaling mold whilst cleaning. One thing i forgot to mention is the ceiling fell in one of the rooms because of the landlord mistake covering up old ceiling with a new one meaning it weighed down and crashed. Luckily this was during the night so no one was injured but again no compensation or reduce of rent. The landlords were constantly on holidays meaning being irresponsible. Never helping and reduce the rent in fact the landlord was bragging about not putting the rent up one time. At the end the landlord agreed we could leave earlier than the contract but also threatened to not let us leave when we couldnt pay rent for 2 days even though we stressed the reason why we couldn't. He also took all the deposit plus try to charge us a couple hundred more even tho we was living in a mold ridden house for a whole year with no rent reduced and out health was affected. And when they did bug us about the extra charge it was during a hard time in our life where the other tenant called Simon Jones had recently lost his younger sibling and we didnt have the energy to fight back but we managed to reduce the charges where we only received £20 ONLY of the deposit back. Also one more thing is before we moved in the garden was severely overgrown and was hard to keep up since they never sorted it out. Never again will I use martin and co in the future and the landlords of the house should be ashamed of themselves. P.S. I have plenty more pictures on my pc of all the damages including the ceiling falling, overgrown garden on the first day including all the mld on the first day but currently on my phone writing this.
