Great place for life
The paperwork process is quick and professional, operations are fully compliant with regulations, and any issues that arise are addressed promptly. Everything needed for comfortable living is provided. There are no parking issues, though numbering the parking spaces would be helpful. The only thing I would recommend adding is a dedicated window cleaning service (scheduled once a month in coordination with tenants).
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
I have been living at Scalars View for about five years. It is conveniently located near schools and public transport, offers affordable rates, and provides comfortable living. There is an Aldi nearby, and a bit further away, a Tesco and a local swimming pool, gym, and fitness centre. I probably don't need to mention hair and nail salons—there are plenty of them everywhere.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Prompt, same-day responses to inquiries, along with detailed, accessible, step-by-step instructions, are especially helpful for those with little prior experience dealing with rentals, security deposits, and related documentation.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
There is no place to store bicycles: leaving them in the courtyard carries a risk of theft (no one is immune to theft), and there is simply not enough space inside the house.

The location is fantastic
I have been living in this development since 2018, so I am a long-term resident. The management team is extremely friendly, helpful, and always professional. I really enjoy living here and fully intend to stay for as long as possible. However, the only concern I have is the yearly price increases, which make me worry about whether I will be able to afford to stay here in the long run.
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The location is fantastic as we are super close to local shops and have a lovely park nearby, which is perfect for going out for a walk. The neighbors are absolutely amazing and very friendly. The only real downside here is the parking finding a space for the car can be quite difficult and frustrating at times.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The management team responds quickly and efficiently to any issues. Whenever something needed fixing, they handled it without delay and with a very friendly attitude
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I had known that parking on this street can be very difficult. Also, although there are outdoor security cameras installed, none of them actually work. They are desperately needed because we sometimes have issues with vandalism for example, someone recently scratched my car. Having active cameras would make a huge difference

A Comfortable, Well-Located, and Family-Friendly Home
I have been living at The Rise for a few months now, and I am very pleased with the overall experience. The design and quality of the home are excellent, and my family has settled in comfortably. Overall, it has been a very positive experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a well-designed, family-friendly home.
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The location is excellent. A bus stop is just a two-minute walk away, making daily commuting very convenient. There is also a great primary school right next door, which is a real bonus for families. The neighbourhood is quiet and peaceful, and everything you need is within easy reach. I have not experienced any significant downsides so far.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The management team has been cooperative and responsive. Whenever we have raised a concern, they have dealt with it in a timely and professional manner, which gives great peace of mind as a new resident.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Honestly, nothing in particular comes to mind. The move-in process was smooth and we felt well-informed from the start.

Overall not a bad place to live. There are improvements that could be made for sure. Just please take in to account that you will be moving into an area where some of your neighbours really do not care about keeping our alleys clean.
The overall design of the property is actually quite lovely. I particularly like the open plan aspect of the lower levels and the privacy in the upper levels. I do wish the bathrooms had windows rather than envirovents. If I didn’t have my extractor on 24/7, I would likely have to deal with condensation and mould. The overall quality of the fixtures and fittings could be better. The floor coverings are thin, there is no underlay to speak of and the floors mark really easily. The carpets aren’t too bad but the lack of quality underlay is noticeable. The sealant used around the edge of the vinyl downstairs and on the stairs does not stay in place over time and ends up lifting completely. That is just from cleaning and vacuuming. The paint on the walls and stair handrail/bannister and balustrades is incredibly thin. The slightest wipe with a damp cloth has the paint being removed. I will say the maintenance team does respond relatively quickly to any repairs though. Our back gate and fence has started to rot with the great British weather, but I cannot fault Placefirst for wood behaving like wood. I do appreciate the simplicity of the decoration but not being able to even hang photo frames is disheartening. Not being able to add small decoration does have us struggling to make the house feel like a true home. I can appreciate the reasons for it, but with the aforementioned thin paint, using something like command strips is out of the question. I will say the doors, windows and insulation are of good quality.
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Honestly the alleyways are an utter disgrace. There is rubbish absolutely everywhere in every alleyway and now we have rodents. They have been found on the front of the street and in the alleys. Some people in these houses fling and dump their waste absolutely anywhere. I daren’t go outside because I am scared of letting in a rat. The overall area isn’t too bad, but the lack of repercussions for certain tenants flytipping is really disheartening. We have had an increase in rent of over £200 in the last 4 years and it has seriously gone down hill. There are police cars speeding to around the corner with their lights on almost every evening, there are some tenants who will scream out of their windows if you deign to bring in your bin rather than leaving it on the alley. There are some tenants who will literally hoard everyone else's bins and then still dump their rubbish all over the alleys! The parking situation is dire. Having to fight for a space every evening because I have mobility problems is a joke. Some people take up 2 spaces without a care for anyone else.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes, we had a leak from the isolation valve on the downstairs toilet. It took them a while to come out, but I had isolated the leak myself, the issue wasn’t urgent. The repairs team are courteous and undertake repairs on site quickly. We did have an issue with the boiler. I did advise it was likely the expansion vessel but was told it couldn’t possibly be that as the tap on the casing was the correct sound (no visual check done of the membrane). A number of people attended and eventually we ended up with a new boiler. I had to keep emptying the condensate trap myself in the meantime and keep re-pressurising the expansion vessel.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I had known just how awful the alleyways are and the laissez faire attitude of the fellow tenants in the area towards the state of them. I wish I had known just how much the rent was to increase (although that was a general unforeseen boom in the housing market and dip in the overall economy). I wish I had known just how cheaply the houses are done up. The carpet lifts with the suction of the vacuum, the paint comes off of the walls easily, the sealant does not hold and the vinyl marks very easily and doesn’t clean very well either due to the material.
