A guide to living in East of England

The building had a small laundry room, lots of payed parking availability, and the design of the building is a little dated and in need of some maintenance on the exterior. The management team are very good. They are prompt with responses, very friendly and and quick to address any issues.

I am writing this to formally record the gross incompetence and institutional cruelty of Hill and L&Q. For over eighteen months, we were forced to live in a "hot box" corner unit that reached temperatures of 35 celcius, and 25 celcius lowest when minus temp outside. This was not a "warm flat"; it was a structural failure. While subsequent phases of the development were built with through-airflow and additional windows to prevent this exact issue, we were left in a unit with zero ventilation and no escape from the heat. The Safeguarding Negligence: The most "vile" aspect of this experience was the total disregard for the safety of my young, autistic son. Despite being informed repeatedly that my son has ADHD/Autism and a compulsive need to climb, your "solution" to the heat was for us to leave third-story windows wide open—windows that initially lacked child locks. When I raised the alarm, I was asked why I wouldn't simply "allow him on the balcony," despite the balcony having a structural cutout that acted as a literal ladder for a climbing child. Hill and L&Q effectively told me to choose between my son suffering heatstroke or him falling to his death. The Human Cost: Your incompetence was not just an inconvenience; it was life-altering. • Physical Health: The prolonged stress and uninhabitable conditions resulted in me developing a condition that required a two-hour surgery to rectify. My body quite literally broke under the strain of living in the environment you provided. • Mental Health: I was pushed into a severe mental health crisis while being gaslighted by staff who treated us with contempt, acting as if we were "lucky" to be there. • Stolen Years: You tainted the precious first years of my son’s life. Instead of a safe home, he was subjected to scorching heat and the constant booming of a neighbor’s subwoofer that you refused to address, despite hundreds of emails and reports from Environmental Health and data loggers proving the "scorching" temperatures. Corporate Indifference: I emailed the CEOs of Hill, but it is clear that when you are focused on multi-million pound trade deals with local authorities, the lives of individual families mean nothing. You chose to ignore professional workmen and data-backed evidence for over a year and a half. L&Q and Hill are not "home builders." They are developers who profit from human misery and hide behind corporate bureaucracy when their "product" causes physical and mental harm. You have failed in your basic duty of care, and the damage you have done to my family is irreparable.

Lovely designed of property, quiet roads with play areas for the kids and good walks for the dogs. Short drive to amenities is a necessary trade off for the tranquility. Very happy with my arrangement and I look forward to seeing this development expand.

Since the development is currently still being finished, there is still certain aspects to the development that are yet to be completed but it’s nice to see everything being worked on to a high standard. The attention to detail in terms of small green spaces including the small children’s park is good to see! We have had good communication with our property manager regarding any minor issues which has been reassuring.

They have amazing taste in design. The building is peaceful and quiet, featuring an elevator for convenience. It’s super chill no one ever disturbs you and the property management team is always supportive, responsive, and keeps everything running smoothly.
