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

Good: Promising area with a very good development plan. Uber delivery arrives in 20 to 25 minutes. 10 minutes Heard about parcels delivery issues but all is fine and on move in date , seen the Royal Mail team doing amazing job delivering to the tenancies. Bad: The are still under development but I think it is going fast. No shops , cafe or restaurant around close to area itself but you can go downtown. You can’t live there without a car , the public transportation might not be inconvenient.

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

I reported and they responded with promise and action to do the needful.

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

I like the area. Bin collections have been fine since the developer bothers to put them in place (took many months to convince them though, so now we have mice in the building).

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

I wish I had realized that customer support was going to leave you hanging for bottom of the barrel elements such as: waste management, heating, door security.

What is the best feature of your home:

I like my home, I am simply not enthused with the customer support’s response whenever there is an issue in the building - which is unfortunately too frequently and makes for a very stressful living situation.
