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

The location of the house is exactly what we were looking for, offering a peaceful setting away from the noise of the city centre. Despite this, it boasts excellent proximity to nearby towns and cities, with a train station conveniently located not too far away. EV charging is something that is not nearby, however, possible to purchase for your home. We appreciate having allocated parking spaces; however, we often find many cars parked on the street instead of within their allocated parking spaces. Additionally, children frequently play near our cars with a soccer ball, which has already led to an incident where my car was hit, despite requests from both me and our neighbour to avoid playing near our properties. They also run around without adult supervision and ride bikes on the street without helmets, which I find concerning since the road is not and shouldn’t be considered as playground for safety purposes.

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

There were no problems so far which would needed escalation to building management.

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

The amount of families with young children living on the street considering the nuisance and screams during weekends and after school hours.

The neighbourhood is wonderfully situated. The communal areas and landscaping have been thoughtfully designed. Although some sections are still being built, it is obvious that the completed development will be an exceptional place to live. 

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

As we have only just moved into the property, we have not had any reason to contact the building management regarding any issues.

I cannot think of anything I wish I had known beforehand. Ryan was incredibly transparent and ensured we had every detail required to make our decision with absolute confidence.
