Great bar restaurants shops nearby and convenient. Close to the train station. Car parking is limited and in a bad area for break ins

Wish I had know about the parking and negotiated a better price

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

I love the location, its close enough to the city centre to be accessible but far enough to be quiet. The viaduct area is great to sit out in summer and it's great that they are dog friendly even having a little dog park! It'll be great when the gym opens too.

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

Any small issues I've had have been fixed very quickly

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

There isn't a shop very close by, but there's a small shop in the main reception where you can buy all the essentials so it's not a problem.

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

Very close to the city center and walkable distance to nearby shops. No Indian shops nearby and gym is also atleast 20 minutes walk. Transport facilities are closeby.

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

Very quickly and resolved the issue immediately. The approach is always friendly

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

Yes, generally responsive initially but then dealing with matters down the line, it can take ages.

That the gym would not be ready even though they have said for 2 years that it is being built.

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

Living in this area has a great mix of convenience and community charm. The high street has a fantastic selection of independent cafes, a well-stocked grocery store, and a cozy pub that hosts local events—perfect for grabbing essentials or socializing.

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

The landlord is unresponsive and slow to address critical issues—requests for repairs (like a broken boiler in winter) took over three weeks to resolve, and they often ignore email follow-ups. They also increased the rent by 15% with only one month’s notice, which felt unfair and unplanned for. Communication is limited to formal letters, with no willingness to discuss flexible terms or minor adjustments to the lease.

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

I wish I’d known about the constant construction work in the adjacent block of the development—it started two months after I moved in and has lasted over a year, with drilling and hammering starting at 7 a.m. on weekdays and even some weekends, making it impossible to work from home or sleep in. I also had no idea how inadequate the sound insulation is between apartments: I can hear my neighbours’ conversations, TV, and even footsteps clearly, which has made privacy non-existent. Additionally, the “24/7 security” advertised is just a part-time concierge who’s only present during office hours, and the parcel room is frequently locked, leading to missed deliveries and lost packages.
