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

I thought there would be spinning classes all the time which is a reason that made me move here, but after I came I realised they don’t even do those classes even though there’s a spin room. Another thing is the extra charge for the cincema room and dining room.

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

living in my local area has a mix of positives and negatives. there is a reasonable rnge of shops, restaurants, and open spaces, ofering enough choice for day to day needs, though some places could benefit from more variety. Transport links are generally convinient, but delays and limited services at busy times can be an issue. My street is mostly quiet and friendly, although parking can be difficult at peak times. bin collections are fairly reliable, and while there is occasional trafic noise, serious anti social behaviour is rare.

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

building management has generally been responsive, addressing issues in a reasonable time frame, although some matters have required follow up before being fully resolved

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

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is how the day to day noise levels and general activity in the building change at different times of the week. It’s something you don’t really notice during a viewing but can make a difference once you’re living here. i’d also recommend new neighbours check how well the building services, like parcel delivery and maintenance requests, operate in practice so they know what to expect.

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

Yes very often and quickly and they always up for help and support
