The initial viewing was great but the questions we had regards the property and costs could not be answered. It would be great to get the guys showing these properties some knowledge of costs and be able to answer questions during the showing.

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

The area has a good range of local shops for everyday essentials, including small supermarkets, cafés and takeaway options, which makes day-to-day living convenient. There are also a few nice restaurants and casual bars within walking distance, so you don’t need to travel far for a meal out. Green spaces are accessible nearby, which is great for walks and getting some fresh air. Nearby train station provides easy access to the city centre. Living on the street itself is fairly quiet. We have not seen anti-social behaviour. Overall, it’s a convenient and reasonably pleasant place to live.

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

The building management has always responded promptly and professionally to any problems or issues I have raised. Communication is clear, and they acknowledge requests quickly. Maintenance matters are handled efficiently, and I’ve found them to be helpful and approachable throughout. Overall, the response time and level of service have been consistently reliable.

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

No concerns or issues before moving in. Everything about the property, its facilities, and the surrounding area met my expectations, and there’s nothing further I wish I had known in advance. My experience has been straightforward and positive from the start.

Yes. Any issues in relation to the moving process have been communicated to me very well
