A guide to living in East of England

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

So far everything seems brilliant. From frequent transport, amble parking and all bins available including food waste. I love the fact that its a quiet area amongst trees and nature you wouldnt known you are on a housing Estate. The down fall is that there isnt a shop within walking distance .

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

We haven't had any issues so no concerns raised to them

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

Im not sure there is anything else I would of wanted to know before moving in as everything had been explained before we moved in

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

Its sooo peaceful and quiet and lots of trees. A really enjoyable place to live. Highly recommend and love it.

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

Yes Jess has been fabulous for us when we first moved in and the WiFi wasnt working correctly she linked us into the people we needed too and was sorted 1st time.

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

The phone signal is poor so without WiFi it makes moving providers and changing address and anything you need to call people more of a challenge.

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

We’re a short walk from local shops with takeaway and grocery shopping options. There a range of bus routes, one of which that stops at the top of the development to get to the town centre for work or where you can visit restaurants, shops, cafes and local points of interest such as Christchurch mansion and park, the waterfront and The Hold (records office).

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

Very quickly and a resolution has been very prompt, professional and good quality.

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

The homes and area are genuinely beautiful, comfortable and it’s a very positive space. The only extremely minor negative is that as building work is still going on there’s a lot of dust which makes keeping the car clean tricky but honestly, that is the only inconvenience. We work from home and I never notice the sound of building work and of course it won’t be forever, so we can live with the dust!

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

There is a Tesco Express, fish and chip shop and a barbershop nearby which is handy. The bins are emptied regularly. Parking is okay if your household only has 2 cars. There is hardly any noise from traffic and thankfully I have not been aware of any anti social behaviour, although the Police have been called to a nearby block of flats a few times.

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

We have been fortunate that we have only had one minor problem and it is being resolved.

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

I genuinely cannot think of anything but I would definitely recommend moving here.

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

Very lucky to live in this development as a renter. So quiet, close enough to everything we need. Beautiful town. A bit of a longer drive to nearest train station but worth it. Front gardens maintained. Parking okay so far although it would be useful if everyone used their driveways and not just parked on the road.

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

Initially there were some delays due some reorganisation within the team but once this was settled, we received a very good service. Responsive, understanding, helpful.

We can't decorate for 2 years but I like the fresh white walls and not sure I would paint them now
