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

It’s a really beautiful part of the world and the perfect environment to raise our family. It’s incredibly peaceful with lots of green, open spaces for our children to enjoy. We have plenty of room for parking and our neighbours are lovely. There is a Coop with a cashpoint machine and a coffee shop that makes lots of delicious food.

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

Yes and they have been dealt with swiftly and efficiently. We couldn’t have asked for more.

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

A crash course in solar panels would have helped! This is the first house we’ve lived in that has solar panels and I love that we are being kinder to our planet by using them.

There is Tesco, ASDA, Waitrose, Iceland in the town within minutes, small parks dotted around liberty place are great for grand children aged up to 2 at the moment. Its still quiet on our road as we don't have any neighbours as yet since next door both sides are still being completed. We have 2 cars that fit in the drive with ease, we are next to the building site entrance so we have lorries and diggers, etc during the week but personally that does not bother us, indeed the grandchildren are entertained by this. At the weekends there is no traffic at all. We have had problems with the bin collections we seem to be forgotten about as it may appear that our road is still under construction and gets missed so we have had to report this to Wealden Council so we hope this will improve.

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

Response is efficient, we did not necessarily get to speak to the right person immediately but were forwarded on to someone that was able to help.

By the side of our house, outside the back door there is a patch of grass and is then blocked off by a fence, we feel that this would be much better if it had been paved and a gate there, in this way we would have been able to have had the bins outside the back door and have been able to take them out the gate on collection day which would have been easier than having to use the back gate by the garage and drive which is at the back of the garden much further away.
