Cambridgeshire is a county in the East of England. It borders Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex. The centre of Cambridgeshire is Cambridge, which has one of the largest populations in the country with just over 100,000 people living there. If you are looking for an area that has good schools and universities within reach then this could be what you are looking for!
Hill does not care as much as it use to.
The new Co-Op on site is a welcome addition, but the community square often feels dead with constant broken lights meaning at night it’s often under-lit. Day to day contractors are constantly making a mess on the streets, leave tea bags on the curb and muddy-ing the roads. ASB is an increasingly worrying issues with packages stolen.
Hill really don’t seem to care about the people who have moved in, and are only chasing new sales. The aftercare is poor. Snags are often left for a long time before being address. Home has leaks and IJC as the chosen contractor do not take any responsibility.
Green areas planted by Hill’s chosen subcontractor is awful. No care is taken, there are weeds everywhere which the Land Trust don’t address. More money goes into the community centre (which benefits select people) rather than a site-wide care of open spaces.
Roads and pavements are constantly being dug up, despite being laid, showing that there’s either poor planning, or something has already broken. Every remedy is done in hindsight.
Given we’re only 1/4 of the way through the development, I fear the site’s quality will go downhill.
Ben Page as the site manager isn’t doing enough to keep the site up to spec and of a high standard. Andy Ashcroft has to be the least bothered Hill employee in charge of customer relations – unfortunately two individuals that need to take more accountability.
Hill hire a road cleaner which actually makes the muddy roads even worse, nothing is ever clean.
HILL DOES NOT CARE.
Please review your development:
Roads are narrow, parking is a problem. Homes have poor outside landscaping, and it often feels like Hill has a ‘we’ll fix it later’ attitude rather than getting things right first time around. They’re upping the prices but lowering the quality. Shortcuts are being taken and it’s just another cash grab for them.
My house was riddled with issues, including maggots behind the plasterboard. Leaks in all the plumbing. Loose garden tiles. Constant issues that make my purchase difficult to live with.
I would not recommend moving to Marleigh in Cambridge.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
There’s an additional service charge to pay, which is meant to be for estate management but unfortunately it feels like it’s wasted money as nothing is done.
What is the best feature of your home:
The best feature of my home is the amount of windows that allow for plenty of light.
