This development review is rated 5.0 out of 5.0. Modern Building
Property management is average - the bin chute has been out of service for nearly 1 month now which I cannot say is the greatest service. The rooftop gardens are properly maintained, so is the gym, this is a plus. The overall design of the building looks modern.
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The property is very well developed with easy and convenient access to local shops including a big Sainsbury's. It is only a 6-minute walk to the train station. For Brighton-London commuters it is very convenient.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
We didn't feel confident to write anything until now - we have lived here for 6 weeks already. The staff are generally very responsive, friendly and effective, especially the manager Jess. She is almost smiling, caring and friendly, and most importantly, efficient. Despite our nightmare experience with the referencing team, she is probably 50% of the reasons why we decided to still live in here. Jess has is a vital element in what makes this community great.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
How long the referencing procedure would take. The referencing team didn't get in touch until 5 days before our move-in day. This is turned out to be an utter nightmare.

We also apologise for the ongoing disruption caused by the bin chute being out of service. We understand the importance of maintaining essential facilities and appreciate your patience while this is addressed.

This development review is rated 5.0 out of 5.0. Great place to live!
The staff are very lovely, especially the office staff are very helpful and receptive. They can be contacted through phone, messages, emails or in person as their office is based on the building. The flats are very well equipped and the layout is very practical. There is maintenance on site and usually any issues reported are sorted in less than 24 hours. There are a lot of amenities like gym, a doing room, cinema room, rooftops, dining room and a conference room. We moved out today due to being relocated for work but we loved it so much living here, we lived here for 1.5 years. Both the move in process and the move out process was very speedy. The team is really thoughtful and helped us so many times. They also are pet friendly which we really appreciate as we have a little cat.
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The area around the building is great, just a two minute walk from a big sainsburys, the pubs around close at a reasonable time so it’s not noisy during the night and the windows are noise cancelling so you can’t hear anything in the flats. The building is very close to transports links as it’s near London Road and also a 7 min walk from the train station. The residents are nice and friendly and there is a resident group chat that is great to keeping up to date with everything. There is a bike store and car parking in the building as well.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Any issues that we have raised while living there were dealt with in less than 24 hours. Any miscommunications were dealt with very professionally and the team would go out of their way to help us out and to make us feel at home.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
One thing that I wish I knew before moving in is make sure that you have all the documents ready and that you meet all the requirements to live in the building as otherwise the process might take longer

This development review is rated 5.0 out of 5.0. Great people, building and apartment :)
The common areas are designed beautifully and so are the apartments. There are a lot of services and the resident’s gym is certainly one of the best - it’s equipped with techno gym brand new machines and it’s open 24/7. I can’t stress enough how lovely the on site management team is. I fell in love with their hospitality and kindness before anything else. In particular, Jess has helped me before, during and after my move in date and has been always super kind, supportive and insightful. My experience with urban bubble was also nice. Ali has been very kind and helped me finalize my tenancy here. Some aspects of the proceedings could have been a bit quicker, but overall I had a good experience with them as well.
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The building is well located. The train station is very close by and so are two supermarkets (Aldi and Sainsbury’s). Living here with a dog is a dream as Preston park is just a few minutes away by foot.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes. The on site team is always very available and quick to respond.

Manager's response5Dear Arianna, Thank you so much, Arianna, for your wonderful and thoughtful review! It’s fantastic to hear how much you’re enjoying your apartment, our beautifully designed communal spaces, and especially the 24/7 residents’ gym. We’re particularly delighted that you’ve had such a positive experience with our onsite management team. Jess will be thrilled to hear your kind words, we know how much care she puts into supporting residents throughout their move and beyond. We’ll also be sure to pass your lovely feedback on to Ali. It’s great to hear that the location is working so well for you too, especially with the train station, supermarkets and beautiful Preston Park all so close by. We’re glad it’s proving to be a great place for both you and your dog! Thank you again for choosing to live with us and for recommending us. Your feedback means a great deal to the whole team, and we’re so pleased to have you as part of our community. 😊 Warm regards, Your York & Elder Community Team
