If you're looking for a nice place to live long term, Ainsworth Lord Estates Ltd is not a good place to go to. When I first viewed a property on Dove Lane, the house was freshly painted, but there was a dark patch at the bottom of the wall in the master bedroom. Paul told me that there had been a leak that had caused the wet patch on the wall, but I was assured that it would dry and that the leak had been fixed. As you probably guessed, that wet patch never dried, but it did spread to another wall, then from there, it spread upwards. I rang Paul for an explanation and he explained how much of an expert he was on condensation. Yea, LOL! He told me that the damp was certainly just condensation. When it rained, the rain would soak through to the wall in the kitchen and you could put your hand against it and it would be soaked. The heating never worked and the house was always freezing. On one occasion, I went down to the shop to ask if Paul could remove his tools and ladders from my kitchen, as they had been left there for weeks. Since Paul wasn't there, I gave my message to a young lady behind the counter and I can only assume that the message she gave to Paul was very different, as when I went back to the shop to pay my rent, his heavily pregnant with twins wife flew at me like a mad woman, screaming in my face to never again bad-mouth her husband. The shop had customers, so as you can imagine, I was very embarrassed. When it came to doing jobs, Paul would get people out, but would never actually spend money where it needed to be spent. For example, to appear to be doing something about the damp, Paul sent out a roofer, who told me that he couldn't understand why he was being asked to look at the roof, as the roof was brand new. I told the roofer that Paul believed that the damp in the bedroom and the kitchen was down to the roof and the roofer said, "The damp in the bedroom, that was there a year ago" he even knew which walls I was talking about without going into the bedroom. I wonder how many times Paul had painted over that damp? The heating was never fixed, despite different people having a look at it. When I left the property, Paul refused to give me back my deposit, so I had no choice but to take him to court. In court, I presented my tenancy agreement as proof that I had paid a deposit and when the judge looked it over, he said that it made no legal sense. Paul presented an altered and very professional version of my tenancy agreement, one which stated that I had paid a bond and not a deposit. Paul was claiming that my tenancy agreement was fake, possible something that I had downloaded from his website, or a copy of a copy. Thankfully, the judge saw through his lies and accepted my tenancy agreement as genuine. The judge blasted Paul when I presented receipts for my rent payments, which were all written on any bit of paper that Paul and his staff had to hand. I should have had a rent book, but was never given one. Avoid Ainsworth Lord Estates, as jobs won't be done, you will be spoken to badly and your deposit more than likely will never be returned.
