A Guide to Living in Bristol

It’s a quiet area, very secure, clean (even the communal bin storage). Staff are really friendly.

Please review your development:

The complex design is great. The floor to ceiling doors make the property really bright. The balcony sizes are great too.

The property managers are extremely helpful, especially Anna!

Sarah from A2 Dominion went above and beyond assisting us with the entire tenancy process. She was available to answer our questions, kept us regularly updated, really friendly too.

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

The parking space we were originally allocated was less than ideal, within an hour we were allocated a more appropriate space. We weren’t told where the under ground parking was so would be good for new tenants to be advised if they have allocated parking with the property. We have had new tenants ask us when passing by.

Recycling is a little bit of a pain as assumed we’d be supplied with some sort of box to easily carry to the bin store. Ended up buying our own for ease.

What is the best feature of your home:

The layout of the flat, balcony, overall large room sizes. Location, secure parking. All perfect!

Please review your development:

The development is of an appealing design, and well constructed using good quality materials and fittings. In particular, the inclusion of air conditioning is very welcome during hot weather.

The block is well maintained, cleaned regularly, and is very secure both internally and externally.

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

The close proximity to both the city centre and docks – this is a good base from which to get to know the city.

What is the best feature of your home:

It is very easy to live in – cleaning is easy, all of the appliances are top quality and the flat is easy to heat/cool.

Overall Redrow have been very good. There were a few snagging issues at the start but were all sorted (with the occasional nudge!) We love our home and we’re so glad we chose to buy here. Only downside is it’s a 10 minute drive to the supermarkets and very limited restaurant options nearby, but we love the safe, community feel and green space.

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

Because the development is ongoing, fine red dust settles on windowsills etc. It’s not terrible, but is a little annoying.

If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:

It would be great to be a bit closer to some shops.

Please review your development:

Great transport links, close to all amenities, motorway access, ring road – doctors, restaurants all close by. Unfortunately some elements of the finish weren’t brilliant but were rectified later on by local housing association.
Could definitely do with another school in the area as catchment is very strict and already over subscribed.

Would have liked to have known I would be next to large empty unsecured land for a long period of time, with low security measures also it’s not particularly aesthetically pleasing either. However overall I’m really happy in my home.
