What a difference - filthy Telford house gets a spring clean
It took several days, a lot of hard work and scores of binbags – but this once messy house in Telford is now clean again.
The house in Telford was full of hundreds of empty glass bottles and food packaging.
The Shropshire Star revealed on Saturday how the house was left in a state when a long term resident moved out leaving behind years of rubbish.
But now after hours of cleaning the house it is fit for purpose once more, and the floor can been seen again. New flooring and carpet has been put down and the house is ready for new tenants to make it their home.
The landlord brought in letting agents Nock Deighton to help look after the property, and they were shocked at the state it was left in. Dawn Clarke, who is the Shropshire-based regional representative for the Association of Residential Letting Agents, said: "We do come across similar situations like this from time to time, but I have never seen anything quite as horrific as this case.
"Problems like this arise mainly with investor landlords who don't have the time to effectively manage their portfolios, or sometimes with new landlords who have no experience of the legal and technical aspects legislation."
