Tenant – tenant-like user[7]Furniture provided by landlord or superior landlord Integrating cooker unit[8]Description of premises Ground floor apartment comprising hall, living room, 1 bedroom, kitchen, bathroom (bath with electric shower over, wc and wash hand basin) and cylinder cupboard. Access via shared entrance. The apartment is part of a development, approximately 20 years old, of 1 and 2 bedroomed properties in small blocks that form Moorview Court which is targeted at older residents. All the blocks are 2 storeys with half rendered brick walls, concrete interlocking filed roofs. Externally there is hard and soft landscaping. Although there are no designated parking spaces it is understood that the occupier is entitled to a parking space. The apartment has double glazed upvc windows, an electric fire in the lounge and wall mounted electric storage heaters with a small wall mounted heater in the kitchen. Overall, the flat is dated, but in reasonable condition. To be considered in good condition it requires redecorating, carpets cleaning and vinyl coverings to the bathroom and kitchen replacing. The cooker and extractor fan in the kitchen provided by the landlord are old, inefficient and should be replaced. The exterior of the cooker appears rusted and the tenant advised that the grill no longer functions. The wall heater in the kitchen does not work and needs replacing. The bath sealant is mouldy and should be re sealed. Although the flat is small, this is a pleasant development in a reasonable residential area that should prove attractive in the Blackpool rental market.
