As stated in my previous post, on moving to the property and paying in excess of £3000/- in deposit and rent to move in, only to discover no heating in the property and the toilet does not flush well—The 2 main things in a property which one really worries about.
When I reported the issue with the toilet flush, I specified that it is a week flush and because it is embarrassing to describe some of the issues. I specified that once you have used it for a bowel movement and put the used tissues in, you have to flush it about 3 or times, to clear all the things' in it. I would have put up with the isutauton, just that in the morning, waiting for the toilet to fill back again and flush and fill back and then flush and repeating 3 o4 tiems, takes up atleast 15 minutes of that valuable time I the mronig, when you are rushing for work.
I reported this issue, describing it as civilliy as possible in writing to the property manager Sam at Thomas Connolly who said that the issue has been reported to a company called Grand Union Plumbing estate agents. Today I receive a message from Sam, saying Grand union plumbing have come back to him to report that there is ' no issue with the toilet flush and he has sent a video of the toilet flushing toilet paper!!! I never reported that the toilet flush does not flush toilet paper and was quite shocked at the response. The property agent further says that he would in normal circumstances have to charge me for a nonsense call, but out of 'courtesy' has decide not to do it this time.
Grand Union property agents asked me for a review and I said that I am shocked that they have not even addressed the issue of 'weak flush' and that they have painted me as a 'nonsense caller'. I spoke to the property manager who said it is a communication issue. They said that the property manager from Thomas Connolly told them that 'the toilet is not working' and hence they sent a video back to show the toilet is flushing toilet paper!!!! The problem I reported , which is toilet flush is weak and after a bowel movement & does not flush the toilet paper with things in it, and takes repeated 3 or 4 attempts of repeated flushing is miles apart from what 'they reported as toilet flush not working'. Somebody here is not doing their job properly or is being very unhelpful.
I do not know if it's a communication issue for whom to whom, but I am very upset at the way this property has been handed over to me. After paying this massive deposit and rent, I have been handed stuck with a property as I have signed a contract now, where the heating is unreliable and toilet flush is weak and if I report anything, I am the odd one out here.
My word of warning , is try not to rent if possible but if so, go for a responsible estate agent, who does not picture you as 'mad and lunatic' if you report a problem. Twice since moving into this property, I had to report an issue to the TC estate agents, and both times they have threatened to say,' We would have charged you in normal circumsntncres, but out of courtesy we are not doing it', I think it is extremely unreasonable when you are in a sticky situation and reporting a problem with the estatge agents should have sorted way before you moved in !
If you are unfortunate enough to have rented a property via these estate agents like I have been, then please do not report any issues, as they will paint you as weirdo and in their theory, you have rented a property,' you are doomed for so many months, whatever problem just shut up and give us no headache'.
