    Lewes Court Phase One - From website

    Lewes Court Phase One

    (3 reviews)

    In my time at university the Lewes Court residences were the sterile modern ones where the partys…read morenever seemed to be as good and the people never seemed to make as many friends. I probably say most of this out of jealousy though, as I myself lived in the grottier Park Village, where we may have had cheaper rent but this came with mouldy walls and stained carpets. If I'd lived in Lewes Court I'd probably have liked it more, but my friends who lived there tended to prefer coming to mine, not finding it too sociable or cosy there. Saying that, I expect Lewes court is no longer the posho residence now, with the two newer residences by the station and by Bramber House.

    My very lovely girlfriend lived in Lewes Court Phase One during our first year at university. She…read moreis no longer my lovely girlfriend - just lovely - but if one good thing did come out of our relationship, it was the fact that I can now review Lewes Court Phase One for you, the reader. LCPO has a number of rooms with shared kitchen and bathroom facilities, but there were also studio flats (one of which was the home to the lovely one). These were gorgeous little rooms with a bed, desk, internet facilites, kitchette and en-suite shower room. The rooms were clean and modern and gave the occupier a nice feeling of independence. One of the major drawbacks however, was the lack of social interaction with other students. If you are a sociable person it is fine, but if shyness prevails, it may be difficult for you to make friends in your halls, as the rooms are self-contained and pretty cut off. If you are a sociable person though, they are great because you can socialise until the cows come home, but when you go to bed, you know your kitchen and bathroom will be how you left them and your privacy will be under your control.

    This accommodation is the creme de la creme of university housing and at £118 a week you would hope…read moreso!!!! It has plasma screen televisions that are in the shared common rooms between 6 people and all the facilities are state of the art. However, all the people I know from Swanborough House, from my time on campus, didn't socialise with other swanborites and therefore this is the least social place to live. So, if you want a haven to go back to during your first year then this would be a good shout. For me staying with great people and sharing facilities with people you will get on with at university is the most important aspect as these will be your main friends for your whole 3 or more years. One campus shop is literally across the road so it is positioned perfect, otherwise live in Park Village as this is where the magic happens!

    Marc is right in as much as this is the premium end of University Housing, but that doesn't mean it…read moredeserves praise. The two complaints you should be aware of are these; 1. Not worth the money - at £20-50 more expensive than other places on campus, you'd expect a lot more for your money, but you really don't get it. All residences have plasma TV's, just shared between more people. The bedrooms within Swanborough are actually the smallest on campus, even if they are new. 2. The place is lifeless - beyond looking like a prison for wealthy bankers, there is just no atmosphere here. Largely this is because Swanborough is mostly populated by international students who speak little English. If you are looking for a lively and fun residence, don't come here.

    disgusting lying company had the job interview was told I got the job never heard back from them, I…read moreemailed the company and got no reply their probley was no job and just wanted to get the numbers up to make people think they are a good company

    AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!! G4 lets are a joke of a company,…read moreafter taking nearly a month of waiting to hear anything back about the deposit return after chasing G4 multiple times to send it over , they charged for a professional clean of the property dispite it being cleaner then when it was handed over prime example when the heating was turned on in the winter behind the radiators were filled with trash and letters from pervious tenants as well as a parcel shelf from a car and multiple items of clothing which is a fire hazard or at the very least just an extremely bad "professional standard of cleaning" Aswell as saying the property didn't need carpets cleaning then charging for that anyway. Very many maintenance issues went half fixed or not at all it took them months to fix the mouse infestation that was present before the property was moved into. aswell as instead of fixing the broken ignititor in the gas oven that the nice chewed threw were just given a lighter and told to light it with that also charged for cleaning of said oven even though it was cleaner then when the property was handed over and broken so why would you pay to have a over clean If it would be replaced anyway? Exposed wires left hanging out the walls and sinks which is beyond INSANE. Mould present in bathrooms when moving in aswell as rusty radiators a health hazard for sure tetaaus anyone? charged to clean and microwave that is rusty and gross that was never used so bought a microwave to use instead along with a broken dishwasher that was never used that was also added on the inventory as dirty The decking in the back garden was rotten and frankly a death trap they put a plywood board over it and said they'd have it fixed ASAP and not to use the garden till then this was the first week of tenancy the decking still wasn't fixed by the time the property was vacated They also have charged for marks and cleaning issues that were in the original inventory, the property was handed over from them in a "professionally cleaned" state when there was dust everywhere and a mouse infestation if that is professionally cleaned then the clean that was done before the property was vacated must have been "savant level cleaning" This company is morally bankrupt scamming students out of thier money whilst also having staff memebers and contractors write reviews which is very illegal aside from that they'd routinely turn up unannounced or inside of 24 hours notice period and booked back to back viewing two months after the property was moved into to the point where they had to be told to limit this as it was very intrusive and disruptive whilst attending uni full time. Run for the hills from this company and it's borderline illegal business practices along side it's rude and unhelpful and downright condescending staff worst lettings company in Brighton hands down.
