I have now been waiting a year to have my back drain cleaned out. And I realise there are other issues, but to keep getting dates, then the day before texting to say it won't be done due to sickness, I think is poor. I have explained on numerous occasions that my back passage gets flooded out when we have heavy rainfall. Asy bungalow is tiny I have to need to store things there and so far I have had to throw so many things away. I find it extremely infuriating.

I moved here last November and didn’t have heating in my living room until January so I didn’t get a good start. However we are having an upgrade to our homes now so I hope it all goes well.

For the last few tears I've been trying to get the trees that are in front of my property cut down to a lower hight. They're over 30ft tall and it's like living in a cage all year round. I've taken my nets down to let extra light in and I'm still using lights during the day. We pay a maintenance fee in with our rent and owner occupiers also pay this. There are certain spots that the gardeners or anyone else for that matter pay absolute no attention whatsoever!!!! Where I live is one of these areas....I can understand why people don't want to pay ther maintenance fee because we're not getting the service that we supposedly pay for!!!! My complaint has been closed and they still haven't cut the trees down. Would have better chance getting blood out of a stone. Been in this property for 27 years and the last time these trees were cropped down was in 2015!!!!!! Didn't go back far enough for me to put the date of experience in!!!!!!

places for people offer excellent accommodation at a reasonable price. They have always treated me with thoughtfulness and respect and have worked proactively on any issues that have arisen. I cannot recommend them enough.

The jobs that the work men do their is no problem, it’s the people that you email they never answer or phone and the appointment is never sorted first time

Outstanding an external repair been on the going for 16months still not completed. Places for people happy to take your money and demand you bend to there demands or the will break your door down and charge you for it. Getting a joke of a company.

The only reason I gave 3 stars is due to how long it takes to get anything done after reporting a problem or a repair
