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

There are enough shops and bars, but few restaurants to visit, especially good ones. Transportation is very convenient, with bus stops, trams and taxis at the door. The train station is only a ten-minute walk away. There are plenty of parking spaces. Sometimes after 10pm, people will play football downstairs, which affects my rest a bit.

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

Very responsive and able to solve most problems. Whenever I asked for something, they quickly finished their work and solved the problem. Sometimes I had to carry a lot of bags into the apartment and they were willing to open the door for me.

Good Aspects: One of the main benefits of living in this area is the convenience. There are plenty of shops and supermarkets nearby, which makes everyday errands easy. The city centre is just minutes away, offering access to restaurants, entertainment, and more. Public transport links are also excellent, with buses and trams right outside, making commuting very straightforward. Bad Aspects: On the downside, there is a social housing building opposite which is often noisy, and the atmosphere from that area can sometimes feel unwelcoming. Additionally, being so close to Broad Street has its drawbacks, it’s known for being noisy, occasionally feeling unsafe, and generally quite busy, especially during weekends and evenings.

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

The building management has been excellent in responding to any issues we’ve raised. They are always quick to act, especially when it comes to repairs. The team is friendly, approachable, and efficient. Whenever we’ve asked for something to be done, there’s no hesitation or delay; they simply get on with it.

Everything was explained perfectly by Isabella when we first viewed the apartment - again, positivity from the team.

we have had a few issues with the toilet in our flat but the maintenance team came to look at it quickly. it did take quite a few weeks for it to be resolved which was disappointing
