One of the radiators in the second double bedroom was not working and was leaking. (we made Mrs Williams aware of this) 2. A. couple of ceiling lights were not working and the pull cord in the downstairs shower room snapped off when first used. 3. There was smell of damp in the lounge and damp patches were noticeable under the bay window. 4. Information about the property was minimal (not professional). Basically a couple of laminated sheets covering bedding, rubbish and recycling. These points are meant as constructive criticism.

Being later in the year we watched the tv each night. A digital tv would give a much greater choice.
