We had to move as our previous landlord was selling and we didn’t have long left after notice was given. We couldn’t find anything in the area, nothing came up, so we chose nearby instead. All the new builds were too small/too far away/too expensive so we came across this house which is quite large and has a lot of land. Bargain! We thought. We had a look round with the agency and that was it, we paid up. So far it’s cost us all of our savings (to me £3k is a lot! It’s all we had)
Once moved in I realised how run down it actually was. Black mould on the inside of curtains, single glazed windows which fill up with condensation, slugs in the kitchen, woodlice everywhere, a wet wall from the damp, filthy cupboards inside, big gaps between the units and appliances which stink of damp.
I feel awful about this. I’ve sent pictures and emailed the agent to say I had no idea it was this bad. I’ve bought with my credit card, a big dehumidifier which fills up to full every day.
The dc’s love it, they’re playing outside every day and it is very scenic here at least. Dh loves it too, he thinks it’s his dream house! 
I just feel gutted. I am constantly worrying about the problems the house has and I’ve already booked a plumber myself to fix the kitchen tap as it’s like something from the 60’s and actually hurts to turn the bloody taps as the handles are so short and stiff ?!!
I’m just thinking how we can’t move again as there’s no money left and if I complain too much we’ll get turfed out. The landlord obviously doesn’t give a stuff about maintaining the house or bringing it up to standard.
The energy rating somehow got a D. I’d say it should be more like an F.
What on Earth do I do?
