Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Such a great location, in the centre of hove. Gyms all around fantastic foodie spots and a 5 minute walk to the beach. You really can’t beat it. Not to mention a stone throw away from hove station.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Building management is fantastic. Any problems we’ve had have been resolved within a couple of hours
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Nothing to be honest, it’s a great building and we couldn’t be happier living here

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Living at Flat 32, Hove Gardens House has been a really positive experience. The location is fantastic , just a short walk to a great range of independent cafés, restaurants, and shops, with the seafront and Hove Lawns close by for fresh air and open space. There’s a friendly local atmosphere, and everything you need is within easy reach. Being right by Hove station makes commuting and exploring super convenient, and there are plenty of regular bus routes too.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management has always responded quickly and professionally to any issues I’ve raised. From my experience, communication is clear, and problems are resolved efficiently. Dan, in particular, has been exceptionally helpful, always approachable, proactive, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure things are sorted promptly and smoothly. His support has made a real difference to the experience of living here.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Nothing of note. Perhaps that the flats are advertised as almost fully furnished on socials.
Manager response

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Good local shops with Lidl and Waitrose nearby. Not far from the george street shopping area. Parking onsite makes life much easier as well. Decent bus routes just up the road as well
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
I had a curtain fall down which was fixed the next day. I also had an issue with my keylock system, this took a little longer but the team were helful and kept me up to date until it was fixed
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
If you're south facing it can get incredibly hot in the flat. Aircon or a cooler is definitely a must.
Manager response
Dear Jem Thank you for your kind review! We're so pleased to hear that the apartment's space and accessibility features are making a positive difference for you, and that you're able to move around comfortably. It's great to know the level access, wetroom, and kitchen setup are working well, and that you're enjoying the fast Wi-Fi and convenient location. We’re also glad the management team and concierge have been responsive and supportive when needed. Thanks again for sharing your experience!

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
This was an incredible place to live in Brighton. The apartment location was perfect for nearby stores and facilitiies. It is a safe, clean and very well managed apartment. Maintenance was always efficient when a few minor things needed repairing. The building itself has much to offer the residents, a downstairs lounge, gym, bike storage and many garden terraces which are beautifully maintained. Daniel is always on hand with his friendly, efficient and kind demeanour. He is both friendly and professional and addresses any issues immediately.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Immediately and efficiently.Daniel who manages the building is excellent efficient and always approachable and friendly.
