My experience moving into my new home

Mia S (Tenant)

The Farriers, MK8

Aug 2025

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

I feel that the area needs developing in terms of local amenities like shops, restaurants etc. The phone service also needs to be sorted as there is none due to it being a new development. Other than that, I am thoroughly enjoying my new home.

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

Yes, Mustafa has been outstanding. I had an issue with my dishwasher and once I had raised this, he had this resolved the next day.

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

I would have liked to have guidance on how to set up my heating and hot water on to a timer as the facilities here are completely new and I have no experience in using anything like this before.

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

Overall the living experience in the local area is good. However, the amount of local traffic, cars parking on pavements, and extremely loud car and motorbike engines are significant negatives.

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

Generally responses from building management have been good.

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

About the traffic noise and position of the apartment relative to direct sunlight.

Manager response

Dear Kooky Resident, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and for your kind words about the service and communication you’ve received from the management team. It’s greatly appreciated! We understand your concerns regarding the traffic noise and people parking on the pavement. Unfortunately, given our close proximity to the town centre, these factors are outside of our direct control, however we will always do what we can to flag these issues to the right people.

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

Good transport links to London. Very happy here apart from the traffic noise of cars without silencers using the hill as a race track.

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

Yes they have. We had issue with our mattress and they replaced it with a new one.

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

Mattress was not as firm and comfortable as I would have liked.

Manager response

Dear Kooky Resident, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and for your kind words about the service and communication you’ve received from the management team.
