Castleview House

"Two stars because it's at least liveable. The building and the neighbours are awful. Your experience will differ depending on the agency you get. Prsim are great, TIR Lettings are awful. The flats are tiny, everything was made for cheap."

"I honestly wouldn’t recommend this apartment to anyone! From the condition of the apartment, the area it’s in, to the customer service. If I could rate this apartment 0/5 I would. When we got into our apartment it became apparent that the landlord had not provided us with an alarm code to deactivate the alarm. Having spent over two hours trying to get through to the landlord via Bookings.com, Facebook and the phone numbers we were given our party of 4 luckily guessed the correct combination. As you can imagine, this was a great inconvenience for our party as we had dinner with friends booked which we had to cancel. The following morning we were awoken by a man, who claimed to be a maintenance specialist, entering our apartment and then bedroom. He said; “apologies, I didn’t expect anyone to be here”, whilst standing at the door of our room whilst one of our party members was in a towel and the other member was in bed. The maintenance specialist stated that he was advised by the landlord to come to the apartment to fix the alarm. (No one has been in contact with us.) Inside the apartment, there were door handles hanging off with nails sticking out, stained furniture and outside the apartment there was rubbish dumped everywhere. We have requested a refund but again no one from this company/the landlord has been in contact with any of us. I would highly advise not staying here."

"On a picture you can see Christmas tree. It was really dirty around at that time. 2 stars coz it provides roof over a head. Bins are always overflowing on a 4th day and any rubbish that fell on the ground by day 7 stays around - you can see pic also around bins, in the grass, in the entries. Rats are certain to settle soon. Elec heating wasn't cheap last winter, you can imagine now. Also with low external temp these heaters [standard issue] are not enough, so you're looking for extra bill. Moisture can't be stopped from accumulation on the windows, one have to control the mould few times a week. Communal space cleaner is doing very very poor job or isn't paid for enough time."

"Castleview house is ideal for couples/single people due to the size of the flats. Granted it may not have the tidiest car park or hallways. It may smell of weed all the time and you can always hear some sort of music. The buzzers don’t work and neither does the barrier. The most annoying thing is everybody drives around the one way car park the wrong way (mostly taxi drivers) and that grinds my gears. But overall, it’s cheap as chips and the location is unbelievably ideal. Cinemas, takeaways, shopping centre, supermarkets, fuel stations, car dealerships and literally 5 mins away from the M56. 20 minutes to beautiful Wales and half hour from the great city of Manchester. All the neighbours I’ve met are sound and ask about your day ect. I’ve read reviews saying how disgusting the place is, but honestly it’s only the car park that has some litter (most of which is from the council houses at the back) But the actual flat you have to live in is newly refurbed all fresh walls and flaw and a proper decent little kitchen. So overall Castleview may not be the e prettiest place in the world, but it’s affordable and mostly a sound place to live. So take no notice of those awful reviews, especially the taxi driver; she smells herself."

"Horrible place to live. Bins set on fire, full of drunks walking the hallways (can be heard inside apartment) and then there's the people that blast music almost every night (if you face the inner courtyard like I do you'll know what I mean it's an absolute joke and the glass is way to thin) good look getting any sleep from that even with closed windows. There's also frequent strong cannabis odour that I'm sure you'll notice once inside. There are some nice people living here it's just a shame the odd few that just don't care have been able to run it down this much. Can't wait to leave the place."
