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

Brilliant location, the area itself is quite busy but when you're in the building you don't notice it. Everything you could need is within walking distance.

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

People used to park in our allocated parking spots, we complained about it and now there are proper precautions in place to prevent that happening.

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

I wish I would have known to go to the events a lot sooner, we didn't go to them when we first moved in as we were nervous but now I really look forward to going to them.

The area in Stanton Hill is lovely and it could do with TLC with roadworks and infrastructure. There's a lot of beautiful walks in the country side and a few local groceries store and takeaways you that is walkable.

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

Wished they stop being a money grabbing and treat customers better.

What is the best feature of your home:

Nothing, they're still treating us badly and not being transparent throughout this journey.

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

Good area with lots of shops and cafes close by and very close to the train station and buses. Unfortunately parking is very limited and the lights outside the building often don’t work, which makes it difficult when walking outside in the dark.

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

They always get in touch promptly and arrange a solution

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

The appliances (heating, oven, etc) didn’t come with any manuals or instructions so it was a struggle to set the heating on timers and work things. It would have been good to know how all those things worked upon moving in

Living in my local area has many positives as well as a few drawbacks. There is a local supermarket ALDI. There are also green spaces nearby which are well maintained and useful for relaxing or exercising.

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

no issues or concerns so far- however any questions I got I was contacting Claudin over emails and always she was able to answer all my questions

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

I was very happy with the way everything was explained during the viewings. All information was clear, explained by Claudin and there were no issues, which made moving in straightforward and stress-free.

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

Everything is really close by and so easily accessible, love that it's a straight road into the rest of Notts eg Mapperley top and Sherwood. So there's so many options of Dr's, dentists, schools, take out and bus routes into town etc. Community seems nice, our little cul de sac is very well placed and quiet. Safe for the kids to play out. Love the park on the estate too and moving in has been relatively straight forward changing suppliers etc. Only downside is there's no corner shop right next to the estate so you have to drive 5 mins for a shop but otherwise perfect!

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

Can't find my general waste bin or my water meter. Would love to know where they are and what day is my bin day.

What is the best feature of your home:

Best feature is the top floor 3rd bedroom, theres so much space and amazing wardrobe space!
