A quiet and modern space just next to the town centre

Apr 2026
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The building is surrounded by green, even if it is just 5 minutes away from the town centre. At the same distance, there are also relatively large supermarkets. The train station is a bit far (roughly 20 minutes on foot), but reachable with a pleasant walk through the town centre. The area is quiet and clean
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management is great: very friendly, and very quick to answer requests for support
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
to review the inventory straight away, as the time to do so expires really quickly

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Pros: lots of parking options, bin collections are on time, great location connecting the train station with access to London. Cons: there are construction trash on the side way and aren’t removed after several requests to the property management team. Lack of car share options.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Majority of the issues like keys and electricity. But not the existing trash nearby and wifi, I sorted by myself.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Wish to know the wifi isn’t ready until we have to set up by ourselves. Bins should have been ordered prior to our move in.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The area feels safe, we’re close to shops and transport links. It’s quiet from our flat, we rarely if ever deal with antisocial behaviour from neighbours or those nearby.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
We’ve raised issues that have not been resolved, some of which are quite important and others which just affect our comfort. There are some building issues which have been broken since we moved in and are yet to be fixed. Other issues, such as issues with noise have been dealt with well.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Nothing major - the property is fairly as expected.
