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

The application process was extremely smooth and the team were really responsive with regards to answering questions over email and on the phones. They were extremely helpful throughout the process. Adam explained everything really well on the home demonstration and it was very informative. I love the space within the property and the fact the property has 3 bathrooms. I also liked how clean the property was when I arrived.

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

That the shops in the local town are so close to the property which is a really good thing.

What is the best feature of your home:

How spacious the property is both downstairs and upstairs

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

Good = rent Bad = dirty lifts, unclean carpet in the hallway. Lack of good security - many parcels gets stolen

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

Had multiple parcels stolen, nothing was done when I called them. They changed the locks on the doors, gave me a code that expired before they could give me and my room mate our new keys so spent 2 days locked in the building over the weekend, called their out of hours line and all the code they gave me was also wrong so was advised to just stay there until they come back to the office on Monday.

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

Security isn’t good here, your things will get stolen

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

Parking for residents is limited and poorly designed. What developer builds a 4-bed house with one parking space on a driveway? Parking space for visitors is non-existent so expect clogged up roads throughout the development Bin collections are good and generally reliable - they take more recycling here and general rubbish than other areas we've lived Public transport is limited and only from the centre of Bolsover- a 15 minute walk away from this development. You need a car or be prepared to get taxis if public transport isn't for you Doctors are pretty good. There is no NHS dentist in Bolsover so expect to travel of any are taking patients on We've been here 3 years and were expecting more upgrades/enhancements to the centre of Bolsover by now with all the new estates/homeowners buying but apart from a few nice coffee shops, the centre is full of takeaways or tlbarbers/hairdressers so little on offer to spend money here rather than Chesterfield, Sheffield etc. Makes you wonder what Bolsover District Council are spending their money on?

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

The lack of car parking for residents and visitors is so poor its laughable. If we'd have spent time looking at this more thoroughly we'd probably not have bought the house We'd also wished we'd have spoken to residents before buying as if an honest opinion was given by most from Sutherland Farm View, Boleappleton and Nether View, again we probably wouldn't have purchased on this development

What is the best feature of your home:

The design of the house is excellent giving spacious living areas we thought we'd relish
