Never cleaned. Cold water all winter every winter. Inhumane living conditions.
Riv 10 April 2018
if i could give this building 0 stars, i would. absolute sham of a building and fortis are absolutely no help whatsoever. the people they have running the building are incompetent. i wouldn't bother reporting anything as damaged in your room as it won't be fixed - i am on the ground floor, and before i officially moved in i asked if the window lock could be fixed as it was broke, they had somebody come in and check a few weeks later but apparently, it wasn't the biggest issue (i was told it would be fixed lol, it's now april, 7 months later, my window hasn't been fixed), the floor outside the bathroom is warped and has been since i moved in, the shower has mold, my light blew and i was told apparently it's not "broke" the entire circuit needs replacing, had an email to say the "parts had been ordered from over seas" or some nonsense, my light still doesn't work. we weren't shown how to use any appliances, just directed to the leaflet on a notice board, that had to be shared between everybody in the building. on top of the problems with everyone's rooms we have had a massive flood that was never actually resolved, the hot water went off in january, we were being told head office knew about it, that was a lie. we had a fire in the gym, a leak in the gym, the common room is always out of use for one reason or another, there is no "social events", i think there has been half of one since i first moved in? We have had no apologies for any of this, despite the absolute inconvenience it poses. My rent a term is Β£2667.50 or something absurd along those lines and for what? We have had no compensation, in fact, rent was reduced for those considering moving in AFTER the flood, not those who lived in the building during the flood. Since living at Chronicle House i have been consistently sick, i would honestly advise anyone to not even bother VIEWING this place, it's not worth it. PS. i had a friend get stuck in the lift the first week she moved in, she wanted to move back home and getting stuck in the lift allowed her to cancel her contract with fortis, her room was re-let, however, for some reason, they still tried demanding she pay the full years rent anyway.
