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

It is good however council tax in this area is huge and there is a serious amount of homeless around this area.

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

Yes for the most part however hearing loss over Christmas is not great

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

How expensive the parking would be, I assumed it would be affordable but the pricing is extortionate

The sales team were sub par and I wish someone told me to be careful dealing with them.

What is the best feature of your home:

I like the high ceilings and windows and the kitchen has a nice finish.

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

Bedminster has so much creativity and so many things to do. You could never be bored! We are next to the airport bus stop, 20 minutes and you’re at Bristol ready to fly!

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

Communal gas not mains, makes it VERY expensive. Also City and Countey fail to recycle our waste.

What is the best feature of your home:

En suite bathroom as a whole! The gold fixtures and wet room are lovely.

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

Large range of shops, particularly coffee/ food places. The local area is being developed and new improved shops are here.

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

Before moving in I wish we had known how much the development and close areas would have been changed from initial plans.

What is the best feature of your home:

Location: being close to a range of shops and restorative pieces in the home.

Excellent Apartments at a great price, Management Company could be better

Rico S (Owner)

Factory No.1, BS3

Jan 2025

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

It is only a 5-10 minute walk to the centre, the river is close by and the harbourside is great during the summer. The Bedminister train station is also very convienent to get to Temple Meads and London. The area around the development is being improved very quickly with a few new nice restaurants opening up recently.

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

I wish I had known about the management company, would have fixed issues myself instead of contacting them and waiting endlessly.

What is the best feature of your home:

My apartment is very spacious with a modern look while keeping the original wooden panelling. Great blend of antique and modern tastes.
