Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

It’s a location with plenty of house but very quiet. I feel there isn’t much parking for extra vehicles of visitors on the street

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Yes, they are prompt and informative. We are yet the raise any other issues

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The speed of the internet and if there was a tv aerial in the loaf

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

There is a good selection of shops in both directions from the housing development. Parking is always going to be an issue as most houses have more than 2 vehicles and there is never enough spaces for residents let alone visitors. Traffic noise should be minimal as estate is quite large and located on a back road between two towns.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

No issues as yet but being a new build there will be a snag list at some point.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

When you move to any new build site you don’t know any neighbours or habits but as the houses start to fill you get to see how the estate is progressing, especially when neighbours start to leave rubbish on the ground after bins get blown over etc. it’s not a good look at all.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Very good location, quiet area but close to lots of shops and supermarkets. Back on to a great walking and cycling path

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Leaf living were so helpful and accommodating with process of moving in. From start to finish it was a great experience

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The living environment is very peaceful, quiet and pleasant, with a strong sense of privacy and security. The development is well maintained and there is very little unwanted activity or antisocial behaviour, so residents can enjoy a calm and comfortable atmosphere. In terms of convenience, the town centre, restaurants and supermarkets are only around five minutes away by car, while most places can also be reached within approximately 20 minutes on foot. Overall, I find the location extremely convenient, with good access to everyday amenities while still providing a quiet residential environment.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

I have been very happy with how the building management has responded to any issues I have raised. They are quick to respond, polite and helpful, and most issues are dealt with efficiently. Communication is also very convenient and straightforward, with many things being handled digitally. Overall, I feel that the management team takes residents’ concerns seriously and does a good job of following up and resolving problems.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

As a new immigrant, one thing I wish I had known before moving in was more information about how things work within the local community. For example, I was not familiar with how to arrange or switch utility providers for water, electricity and gas, or some of the other practical things that need to be set up when moving into a new home. It would be really helpful if the management team could provide new residents with a simple guide covering these essentials, especially for people who are new to the UK or the local area. I think this would make the moving-in process much easier and less stressful.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The main town centre is in 5mins by car and there is bus stop a few metres on main road also a foot path close by to Town or Polegate. There is some noise due the development still in the building process.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

So far one small problem with bedroom 3 door not staying closed, has been logged.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

As there is no usable loft it is low on storage, eg: cabinets. Being a modern house surprised to find USB points in Kitchen only
