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

    Easy access to city centre. Now there is a sainburys near by which is ideal. I was fortunate enough to get a parking space so that is handy, and usually there is space for guest parking but sometimes it is an issue. However there is paid parking around the corner.

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

    Yes they have fixed my issues. Easy to raise problems within the application. Would be nice to be informed of the outcome. (e.g. washing machine was broken and I wasn't entirely certain when the work had been completed)

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

    No i dont really have anything which I wish I had known before moving in.

    Manager's response

    Wow, what an amazing review, thank you so much! We hope you continue to enjoy your stay with us as much as we enjoy looking after you.

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

    it's convenient because we can walk to the city center for shopping and groceries, which saves me a lot on petrol, However, it can be a bit noisy at times due to ambulance siren

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

    There is an ongoing issue with assessing the carpark. The automated recognition system cannot detect my car license plate, so I have to call the concierge each time to be let in . It is very frustrating because sometimes I need to call multiple times before anyone answers . I have reported the automated recognition system to the management about 5 months ago, but there is no solution has been provided so far. Apart from this, during the warmer months, a lot of flies come in through the window, I believe measures can be taken to address the fly problem, particularly in and around the rubbish room.

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

    I’d like to know how often the rent will be increased and by how much

    Manager's response

    Thank you for reviewing The Wullcomb. We wholeheartedly appreciate any feedback, all of which helps us to improve our service in the future.

    Reviewer was offered an incentive for an honest review, regardless of rating

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

    Recently had a Sainsbury’s local open outside of the building which has been beneficial. Before this, it was difficult to go to the shops as there weren’t any supermarkets close by. The cafe attached to the property is very convenient. Traffic is often heavy outside of the property, however, quiet from the apartment. Bin collection has never been a problem.

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

    Very efficiently, within a week at most and it gets resolved.

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

    It is much quieter than you would expect walking to and from the property which is a positive in my perspective.

    Manager's response

    Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your great review. It is great to know that any small issues you may have experienced have been resolved quickly!

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

    Ideally placed in the centre of Leicester, a huge range of shops within walking distance, especially now that Sainsbury's Local has opened just across the road.

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

    replaced light bulb, investigated washing machine fault

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

    Need to walk around the building to avoid getting lost
