As a teacher and lecturer and husband of a mature student who is having a very bad experience of Broadgate Park run by rapacious property company called UPP, this review constitutes a severe warning to all potential students here. My fuller critique is available on my blog which had 10k hits in the last month and constitutes a serious warning to all students contemplating taking out an accommodation contract with UPP. The fuller story can be reached at this link. http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/michaelwalford/entry/broadgate_park_nottingham/ . Currently due to special circumstances through illness my wife only had 5 weeks of residence. Broadgate Park ...  Read the complete review

Express Review on Broadgate Park

Don't choose Broadgate Park!!! Don't make the same mistake...
I have been dealing with the same situation than Owen (but at Cloister House) for all this semester and I can't stand one day more here.

Unfortunately, the contract is one year long...

You can listen EVERYTHING!!! And the situation becomes worse if you have noisy flatmates (as in my case), smoking and making noise after midnight.


Staff do nothing at all. I have been fighting with this situation for several weeks. And obviously noisy flatmates don't want to chage. I was thinking to move to Albion, but I find it's the same.

Owen: You have been removed from the list, but if you can contact me perhaps we can explain this to UPP. I'm Adriana Vazquez from Cloister House. (my surname is Vazquez, you can look at me in the uni portal, in case my mail is removed too).

Albion House is terrible! I have been in dispute with UPP since the first week I moved in here because there is NO SOUND INSULATION in the walls. I ended up on sleeping tablets because I couldn't get to sleep and got woken up by people in rooms on either side of me. You can hear conversations at EXACTLY THE SAME VOLUME AS IF THEY WERE IN THE SAME ROOM. The staff at UPP are completely unhelpful and even rude when you explain it to them. They trap you in a contract and then you can't get out of it when you discover the truth about their substandard accomodation. The rooms are NOT FIT FOR THE PURPOSE ADVERTISED - they are SLEEP DEPRIVATION and STUDY DEPRIVATION cells. UPP try to keep this quiet and hidden. DO NOT MOVE TO ALBION - EVER!!!
