Nice location, cosy home

The Farriers, MK8

Jul 2025

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

Great open spaces and walking trails for our little Dog. The area would benefit from more local facilities such as a gym, a Swimming pool, restaurants, and convenience stores. The access road is somewhat disappointing. But I believe this is just while the building is ongoing. It has caused many delivery attempts to be aborted and angry uber drivers

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

Mustafa Dar has been quick and responsive to any issues that we have come across.

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

It would be nice to know when the Shetland drive road will be open from all directions.

Ideal Location with Reliable Management

Kooky High Wycombe, HP11

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

The Kooky building is in a great location, right next to Eden Mall. Everything you need is close by—Tesco, Sainsbury’s, and M&S are all within walking distance. The high street is just a few minutes away and often has weekend markets and pop-up shops. There are also plenty of restaurants nearby, making it a very convenient and enjoyable place to live.

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

The building management has been responsive and supportive whenever we raised any issues. For example, we had a problem with the floor heating, which was difficult to manage as we had just moved from a much warmer climate in India. After a few follow-ups, they arranged for a technician to inspect and fix the issue. The in-house technician, Chris, was also very helpful and assisted us with other maintenance needs. Overall, the management team, especially Jas and Lauretta, have been approachable and willing to help whenever possible.

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

The large glass windows in the hall add a stylish and modern look to the apartment, bringing in plenty of natural light. We did notice that they are quite transparent, which became more noticeable when renovation work started in the building across from us. While this initially raised some privacy concerns, we were glad to have blinds available, which helped us manage the situation easily. Overall, the design is elegant and thoughtfully done.
