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

The area is very convenient and well connected, with easy access to the city centre, local shops, supermarkets, gyms, cafés and restaurants all within a short distance. There are also good transport links nearby which makes commuting and getting around very easy. The area feels lively but still comfortable to live in. The building and surrounding streets are generally clean and well maintained. One of the biggest positives for me is having a private parking space, which was one of the main reasons I chose this development as it makes day to day living much easier. Overall, I’ve found the area safe, accessible and enjoyable to live in with everything you need close by.

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

So far I haven’t really had any major issues or maintenance queries that needed raising, which I think says a lot in itself. However, whenever I’ve had any questions, the building management team have always responded well, been approachable and happy to help.

One thing I’ve realised after moving back here is that the building has actually been maintained really well over time. I previously lived here a few years ago when the development had first opened, and at the time there were a few minor issues as parts of the building were still being completed. Coming back around two years later, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how modern, clean and well kept everything still feels. I’ve viewed other developments where the maintenance standards seemed to drop after a couple of years, but that doesn’t seem to be the case here. It’s reassuring knowing the building management have continued to maintain the development properly long term.

Love the building, the gym is a good size and I like the overall design. I've had a couple of issues joining where forgot my fob, and had a number of questions about how things work. I've only spelt to Dior so far and she has been amazing, helpful, and has gone the extra mile to get me prompt answers and go above and beyond. Couldn't be happier.
