I visited my aunty residing in 12 Fairfield Road, to describe her apartment as a sorry excuse is simply an understatement. I was made aware that this flat was let to her by Sanderson James. Firstly, the number of windows is abominable. There are no windows at all in the living room and in the master bedroom (and also the bathroom), this has lead to my aunt recurrently battling mould due to a lack of air circulation and also chest pain. Several items of hers are covered in mould, it is horrid to look at and she is doing all she can but has had her needs neglected and ignored. When my aunt viewed this apartment it was at night and all the bulbs were “not working” so it was not clear at all that the doors in the bedroom and living room did not double up as windows. This is pretty alarming to me. Secondly, the oven. My aunt is someone who has baked all my life so I was shocked to arrive at her place and to see her despondent that she hasn’t been able to bake since she moved to this God forsaken apartment (almost 20 months ago). The oven (when switched on) begins to start dropping some form of black soot-like substance onto items being baked – this is a powder I can only describe as carcinogenic (I am student doctor). To just be candid, I believe this is an agency operating without any integrity or care and does not have the wellbeing of their tenants at the forefront of their actions. I am ensuring my aunt can move out as soon as possible but DO NOT FALL FOR THEIR TRAPS, this apartment is not liveable.
