A guide to living in East Midlands

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

Compared to where we came from, this is so close to shops and restaurants. Very nice calm traffic as well. Families around and my kids can connect and play with others.

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

We haven’t had any problems as far as we know lol.

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

I wish I had known that the house next door to us has the same price but more spacious garden. I would have gone for that one.

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

Lovely area to live in. Clean and quiet. The area is still developing so there are no convenience shops/parks nearby as of yet but I’m sure there will be. Good parking and great neighbours too

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

Yes - all issues have been responded to and resolved.

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

Council tax rates - the property was not banded at the time we moved in.

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

The area is a lovely place to live, with a good range of local shops, supermarkets, cafés and restaurants all within a short drive. There are plenty of parks and open green spaces nearby, making it ideal for families and outdoor activities. Transport links are excellent, with easy access to major roads and regular bus services, making commuting convenient. The street itself is quiet, friendly and well maintained. Parking has generally been good, bin collections are reliable, and I have not experienced any significant anti-social behaviour. Traffic noise is minimal, creating a peaceful environment to live in. Overall, it’s a safe, convenient and welcoming neighbourhood that I would happily recommend.

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

The building management has always been responsive, professional and helpful whenever I have raised any questions or concerns. Any issues were acknowledged promptly, communication was clear throughout, and they worked to resolve matters as quickly and efficiently as possible. Overall, I have been pleased with the level of service and support provided.

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

I wish I had known before moving in how responsive, professional, and supportive the building management team is\. Any questions or concerns are acknowledged promptly, communication is clear throughout, and issues are resolved quickly and efficiently, which would have made the move\-in process even more reassuring\.

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

Very convenient location with plenty of shops, restaurants, and food options nearby. Bus stops are just a short walk away, making it easy to get around.

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

Immediately resolved and tended to with care - Katie Allen took great initiative through the whole move in process, guiding me from check in to repairs and responding almost instantaneously

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

Did not consider moving in summer it would get very warm indoors and there is no air conditioning.

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

Good public transport, very family friendly, lovely area and easily accessible. Aldi nearby and Sainsburys being built currently but both are right near the development entrance. Would love more towards the back end of the development or some local pubs/bars.

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

They have responded but it has taken (and is still taking) a while to get things done. Plumber and electrician needed to come out and I had to chase and then never turned up when the appointment was booked. Took about 3 weeks to sort but got there eventually. Wifi is still non existent

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

I WISH WE HAD BEEN TOLD WE DIDN’T HAVE WIFI. The agency made a huge deal out of the fact that the wifi would be included and installed from the move in date but it wasn’t until we got the keys that we were told there was a delay. It’s now looking like 2 months with nothing but a 4G dongle that is awful and very frustrating. I feel like we were massively misled as we would’ve made alternative arrangements if we’d have known we didn’t have it
