I feel sorry for you guys.
I currently live in GC and its horrible.
The staff are rude - even after putting me and my flatmates through hell off a simple hunch and rumour which turned out to be wrong, we received no apology.
Half the flats didnt get post box keys this year. For no reason at all.
When I picked up my keys to flat 421 in September 2011, I found my flat which had been said to be 'Ready for check in' (moving in), to have a freezer with a mouldy fridge and 1.5 out of its original 4 freezer draws, dirty carpets, no bin and sofas which were literally COVERED in what looked like p*ss, c*m stains, drink spillages and food stains with cigarette burns and rips in them.
My bedroom door handle has never been fully functionning despite many complaints
The oven door doesn't actually fit
We've had 2 leaks from the electrical cabinet above the oven in 2 weeks
1 power cut due to the water in the electrics
A leaky shower in room D which flooded rooms C and D so bad that they stank out the whole flat for over 2 weeks
The water pressure in the taps in your bedroom is like a dribbly w**.
My bedroom window is not sealed properly so I hope the next inhabitant doesnt mind freezing to death in winter: the heater only stays on for 20 mins.
My study chair has been falling apart completely from the day I moved in.
The main door handle (fire door) was broken on moving in.
The maintenance team ignored our request for a lightbulb change in the fluo kitchen light for 5 weeks and didn't bother to come up to check until my flatmate threatened to make an official complaint to head Unite office.
Don't expect Unite staff at GC to give you privacy...althought they're not allowed to enter your flat unless its an emergancy or for maintenance, they'l let themselves in.
Our hoover has smelt of chocolate and sick since we moved in: even a change of bag wont help.
The walls are so thin, if its late at night you can sometimes here people in other flats taking a w** or a d*mp...or having sex.
Don't expect to sleep on a saturday night....or any other ngiht of the week. Its not called PARTY central for nothing you know!
If your music is too loud (which is personal opinion really) security will let themselves in and tell you to turn it down.
The carpets are filthy
The beds are uncomfortable, and if you're lucky, your mattress will have dustmites: hello bites.
This is just off the top of my head. The place is a dump. Its falling apart. Ok, its OKAY, but at £107 a week, its an over priced pile of junk ran by total losers. Find somewhere else to pay over the odds for!
