A guide to living in Cambridgeshire

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

Good: Promising area with a very good development plan. Uber delivery arrives in 20 to 25 minutes. 10 minutes Heard about parcels delivery issues but all is fine and on move in date , seen the Royal Mail team doing amazing job delivering to the tenancies. Bad: The are still under development but I think it is going fast. No shops , cafe or restaurant around close to area itself but you can go downtown. You can’t live there without a car , the public transportation might not be inconvenient.

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

I reported and they responded with promise and action to do the needful.

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

More information about the area development plan. More information about utilities companies for water , electricity, gas &heating .

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

I like the area. Bin collections have been fine since the developer bothers to put them in place (took many months to convince them though, so now we have mice in the building).

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

I wish I had realized that customer support was going to leave you hanging for bottom of the barrel elements such as: waste management, heating, door security.

What is the best feature of your home:

I like my home, I am simply not enthused with the customer support’s response whenever there is an issue in the building - which is unfortunately too frequently and makes for a very stressful living situation.

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

Very good access to Yaxley’s local shops and takeaways which is handy and it’s only 15 min drive to city centre. Bad is traffic is pretty heavy from A1 but wouldn’t say it’s major issue

Yes but I wouldn’t say I’m satisfied with there answers

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

Our garden is an issue and because it was laid in hot weather and even as tenants we watered it day and night it died it’s been blamed on us due to lack of water so we now have to replace grass but they won’t accept it shouldn’t of been laid so should of known this

Not had any so far. Things seem to be going very smoothly.

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

A 'delivery box' of some type would be of assistance. I can foresee problems, in the future, with deliveries from Amazon and the Post Office etc.

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

The range of shops and restaurants just a short drive away from my home is very convenient. Most days the street is pretty quiet, you don’t hear much of the construction even though there is quite a bit going on.

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

I haven’t lived here long enough to know, fingers crossed I don’t have any problems or issues in the near future though!

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

One thing I wish I knew before moving in would probably be that the place does not come with outside trash bins. I had to order them from the council, if I would have known that I would have ordered them a couple days before moving in.
