Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The good aspect is that I can get much of what I need with easy reach. Shops and library really close. The bad aspect is very limited 24 hours shops around here. The reception desk is always manned. I especially like interacting with Moses and Peter while I am in and out doing my shopping trips or from restaurant visits.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Most of my problems are resolved on time but you sometimes have to wait for Monday if have repairs issues on a weekend.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
It's getting very hot now and wider windows would have helped.
Manager response
Thank you Caojie Y! The team really appreciates your feedback. We are very proud of The Mercian and the amenities on offer- it is great to know our residents are enjoying them all ! :)

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Living in my local area has been a mix of great perks and a few downsides. The range of local shops, restaurants, and cafes is excellent — there’s a real variety, from independent bakeries to lively bars and cosy restaurants, so there’s always something new to try. The nearby parks and green spaces are well-kept and perfect for outdoor activities or relaxing on weekends.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management has been responsive and professional, usually addressing any problems or maintenance requests quickly and keeping me updated throughout the process. Occasionally, larger issues take a bit longer, but overall their support has been reliable.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
A tip I’d share with a new neighbour is to introduce yourself to the concierge and building management team early on (Calvin, Amrit, Laura, and Kerry) — they’re very helpful and knowing them makes it much easier to settle in and get quick support when you need it.
Manager response
Hi Ganzhedman, thank you so much for providing us with your feedback. We value the thoughts of all of our residents as it helps us to best capture our areas for resident engagement and happiness. If you need anything from our team please do not hesitate to pop down to the front desk. Thank you again!

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Living in my local area has a lot of positives. There’s a fantastic mix of independent shops, great restaurants, and friendly cafes, so there’s always something new to try. The bars have a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, and the nearby parks and green spaces are well-kept and perfect for walks or meeting friends outdoors. Transport links are generally very convenient, with reliable bus services and a nearby train station that make commuting into the city or exploring other areas easy. The downside is that buses and trains can get crowded during rush hour, and occasional delays do happen.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
I had a minor issue with my showerhead when first moving in while I didn't know about the Moda app at the time I raised this concern to Lee, and he immediately informed Mark and Reece about it and they've come up to get it sorted
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Talia who did my viewing and Jack who explained the entire leasing process to me, explained everything to me in advance to ensure that I won't have any issues moving forward. Even helped me move in some of my luggage into my flat which says a lot about the kind of service they offer
Manager response
Hi Adam, thank you so much for taking the time to provide us with such valuable feedback! We are always happy to help in whatever way we can at Loudon's Yard and will continue to work hard to ensure our residents are having a truly exceptional experience. If there is anything at all we can do for you please do not hesitate to ask!

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
there’s a fantastic range of local shops, cafes, and independent restaurants that give the neighbourhood a lively, welcoming feel. We also have several beautiful parks and open spaces nearby, which are ideal for walks, jogging, or simply relaxing outdoors.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Reece has generally responded promptly and professionally to maintenance issues I’ve raised.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
If I could give a tip to a new neighbour, it would be to get to know the building management team early on, as building a good relationship with them really helps when you need assistance or quick responses to issues. Also, consider exploring the local area at different times of day before moving in to get a real feel for the noise levels and atmosphere.
