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

    I have found the site well maintained and appreciate the maintenance of the communal areas. Your team are amazing. Parking most people park outaide their home which I can see the advantages of that. It’s a shame I have a van parked outside my living room window most days and weekends so there is no biew I saw the message about the children and their behaviour and sorry to say this is the negative thing about living on the site. Daily up to 9 pm at night children riding bikes and scooters around on the roads am sure there qill be an accident and one qill get hurt. The bigger issue is th noise from them they anour and scream for he on end. This is the worse thing as I hadn’t taken into account when I rented this site. I love the house but seriously considering alternative for the future. Happy to talk more if you are available

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

    10 out of 10. Sorted any issues and worked around Me Always helpful and professional

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

    Demographically info on residents. I have got to know anyone on the air personally. I do think knowing w Jo you are living monger us important ita not just bout the house it’s what are neighbour like. Nothing personal I live on my own so socialisation it’s important to me.

    The Green, Hartlepool, TS26

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

    I love where my house is! It’s on a beautiful park and I can see lovely trees and wildlife out of my window. A calm area where neighbours get along nicely. I’ve lived in a Place house houses for about eight years now. I wouldn’t live anywhere else but in a place, Placefirst.

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

    If there is any problems, I just enter them on the website and they come out at the next convenable space for me

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

    The rent goes up every year. Which could possibly push people out. As people don’t tend to stay in these houses long.
