i went to view a property for sale owned by hyndburn homes on blakburn rd today and from the outside it appeard fine. i knew that a 100 year old man who i knew lived there for a long time until he died approx 7months ago. wen i got into the house i nearly fainted it was damp all over , peeling wallpaper from the 70s, ceilings nearly falling down and no central heating and it is a massive house so it must have been cold in thewinter. after he died they rewired it and did the kitchen up because it was so grotty. ive seen this company refurbishin modern properties which seemed decent enough and i couldnt comprehend why this property was not refurbished by the previous owners (the council) or hyndbrn homes. his neighbours told me they had tried in vain to get this help for him but failed. when i asked the lady who accompanied me at the viewing to me as to why this poor man had to live like this she shrugged her shoulders. i know this man is dead now but im really shocked and saddened as to why this was allowed to happen.
