I find it difficult to believe that someone would rent somewhere without looking at it first?? It might be a hard lesson to learn, but he wont do it again.

Welcome to rip off Britain.

Unlike Germany where you can rent very decent accommodation at respectable rents, here in Britain, landlords are solely interested in extracting the maximum possible rent and giving as little as possible back in return.

Some landlords! You can also rent decent accommodation at reasonable rents here, but you have to look at them to compare the condition with the rent.

The position is made worse because at any time there is a vast shortage of rentable accommodation. The practical upshot is that the tennants feel no obligation to look after the property.

Your situation is entirely typical.
