I moved into a property 2 weeks ago. The reason for my move was wanting to save to potentially buy in the next few years. I lived in a nice flat in South Kensington (London), but it was quite expensive, so I decided to move to a different area, different type of flat. It wasn’t my first choice, but with the new laws coming into place on the 1st of May, the market is even more competitive than before.
The new flat has been an absolute nightmare. There’s an active leak, which started 4 weeks ago (I was told that it was fixed when I moved in, but the agency knew it was not true, yet still allowed me to move in). Turns out I also have a very noisy neighbour (there was one night I wasn’t able to sleep till 6am because of him shouting and throwing things in his flat). On top of that, the flat is freezing cold, there’s barely any reception.
With the new laws in place, would I be allowed to move out by giving 2 months notice, but most importantly, would I get my money back.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
