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

I have lived in the area for 13 years, and it’s a nice place to live with very few issues. It’s a lot busier than it once was, but that’s part and parcel of it growing in size so much.

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

The building management team have responded quickly and most problems have been addressed quickly. I have also received chase up emails to make sure any repairs have been remedied.

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

There’s not much I didn’t know about the area, as I lived here for 11 years previous to moving into our Placefirst home. I think the annual price increase is hard to deal with currently, but it’s the same for most people.

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

Local shops around this area are excellent you have a CO-OP down tbh road as well as Langold high street close by and Worksop town centre is 12 minute drive away. Parking is excellent, and the area is very quiet.

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

We’ve raised an issue since moving in and building management have acknowledged them and logged them for action. Communication has been reasonably clear, though the actual fixes are still pending at this stage.

It’s worth comparing the different plots on the development closely before deciding - floor area and layout can vary more than you’d expect, and features like a separate reception room aren’t on every plot.

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

The Saxons is located right in the city centre so you are very close to everything. The best is the location but also the fact that it is still very quiet. I'm not normally disturbed my noise and if I think it is a bit noisy, I can shut the windows and it blocks any outside noise out. Close to the Highcross shopping centre and lots of restaurants.

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

I've not had any issues to raise so far but whenever I have had to get in contact with the team, I always get prompt responses.

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

Getting parcels delivered here is really easy, they get delivered to a secure parcel room that is only accessed by residents.

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

Very close to town centre and public transport. Close to Main Street so quite noisy at night. It’s impossible to sleep with windows open. Building next to this one always play load music during weekends sometimes till late evening.

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

Receptionist are very responsive. But there is no onsite maintenance and the reporting system is very complicated. You will need to go through a super long “checklist” to try to fix by yourself following YouTube video. I wouldn’t expect this from a “luxury accommodation” as what it promotes as.

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

If I knew the room is this cold in winter and the whole room temperature rely on 2 small electric heaters, I won’t move in.
