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

There is so much to do. The shopping centre is on the other side of the road so loads of places to shop and eat. It is next to a main road but the windows are sound proof. I am on the fourth floor so I can sleep with the windows open and the sound of the road is not too loud.

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

They are very helpful, you can go to reception but if they are not there you can text them on WhatsApp and they will respond.

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

There are plenty of shops within a 5 minute walk away, so you do not need to buy everything before you move in. There is a john lewis, tk maxx, next home etc.

The common areas were always clean. The gym was amazing. The staff that works are brilliant! Location wise everything with super nearby no car was needed. Parking isn’t an issue if you have parking pass. There a free bus cross the street ‘hop on bus’. All of the amenities are walking distance maybe about 10 minutes. Hair salons , nails bars, bars, some of the best restaurants can. The safety you felt living in the building was so great! There was no noise at night time. Really good location.

The Saxons is located right in the city centre so you are very close to everything. The best is the location but also the fact that it is still very quiet. I'm not normally disturbed my noise and if I think it is a bit noisy, I can shut the windows and it blocks any outside noise out. Close to the Highcross shopping centre and lots of restaurants.

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

I've not had any issues to raise so far but whenever I have had to get in contact with the team, I always get prompt responses.

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

Getting parcels delivered here is really easy, they get delivered to a secure parcel room that is only accessed by residents.

Very close to town centre and public transport. Close to Main Street so quite noisy at night. It’s impossible to sleep with windows open. Building next to this one always play load music during weekends sometimes till late evening.

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

Receptionist are very responsive. But there is no onsite maintenance and the reporting system is very complicated. You will need to go through a super long “checklist” to try to fix by yourself following YouTube video. I wouldn’t expect this from a “luxury accommodation” as what it promotes as.

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

If I knew the room is this cold in winter and the whole room temperature rely on 2 small electric heaters, I won’t move in.

I really enjoy living in The Saxons. It is a lovely, peaceful and welcoming area with a friendly atmosphere. The neighbourhood feels safe and well maintained, and it is great to have shops, local amenities and transport links nearby. There are also pleasant outdoor spaces around the area, which makes it a nice place to relax and enjoy some fresh air. One of the best things about living here is the sense of community. The area is convenient for everyday life, and the surroundings are generally quiet and comfortable. I have had a very positive experience living here and would happily recommend the area to others.

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

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is how much second-hand sharing happens within the building. Charlotte and Leanna often email residents when someone is selling or giving away items, which I think is a really sustainable approach. I’ve actually found quite a few useful things this way and really appreciate the effort they make to encourage reuse within the community.
