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

Overall I like the vibe of this town though I think there could be more diversity on food choices & a bit over priced. But it’s a very safe, quiet area. Much better than London.

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

They always respond quickly and solved the issues quickly. Very high efficiency and friendly and I really appreciate this. Best building management team I’ve ever meet : )

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

I wish I could know that they would change carpet with corridor doors closed…The smell is really bad for health

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

Maidenhead is opening up more restaurants, cafes etc and there is a great selection to choose from. All my everyday needs are met easily for example grocery stores - Waitrose, M&S, Sainsbury's, Tesco and more - banks, stationary shops etc. Excellent transport system - trains and buses all within easy reach. The streets are generally safe and at night there is hardly any noise. I've been living here about 1.5 yrs and still loving it!

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

They are truly amazing at responding to any problems with speed and the care and friendliness with which they treat people is so refreshing. I am so grateful and so appreciate all the work they do. Nothing is a problem for them and I feel totally looked after and I trust that whenever there is an issue it will always be resolved. This is very comforting.

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

There is nothing that I can think of that I wished I had known prior to moving in. What was lovely to find out after I moved in was how quiet our floor is, how well kept the building is including the cleanliness; also how safe I feel living in this building as they have very good security. Residents that I have met have all been so friendly too!

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

Right in the town centre, excellent choice of shops and restaurants. There isn't really anything bad. Friday and Saturday nights can be a bit noisy but that's totally normal and expected for a town centre.

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

The building management has been very accommodating and helpful at every opportunity. I couldn't ask for more.

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

Nothing. Everything was exactly as expected there were no surprises.

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

This place is in one of the most convenient location in reading RG1. Just few mins walk from the local shops and the lovely town center. You name it you get it. Another advantage is in very close proximity to the reading train station.

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

I lived in domain for 3 years and have very good experience and memories with all the friendly and progression team of building management. Georgi leads the unit and he is one of the best managers i have seen who would care and react quickly to the problem.

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

If you love sun light the pls inspect the direction of flat properly.

Manager response

Thank you for sharing your experience, Surjit. We're glad to hear you found Domain to be a comfortable, well-located place to live with great facilities. It’s wonderful to know the building management team made a positive difference during your time here. We’re really pleased Domain felt like home for you over the past three years. We wish you all the best for the future.
