A guide to living in Essex

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

There’s a ton of things to do, so many restaurants and shops in close distance. The only improvement I’m expecting is a nursery or small supermarket for urgent necessities inside the development, and a new playground which I hear is being built.

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

Immediately and always solution oriented. Even the questions I had that didn’t fall under their responsibility, Mustafa always got back to me with solutions.

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

I was afraid I wasn’t going to like living here, I wish I knew how happy my whole family was going to be as soon as we moved in.

Lovely area, countryside as soon as you leave the estate. Estate not to crammed in like new estates tend to be, plenty of space, not on top of each other. Parking allocated great. Don't use public transport, so can't comment. The particular road I live in is lovely, quite and neighbours all friendly, bin collection is good, but people seen confused about what days etc, so rubbish quite often left out in front of houses.

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

Quickly and efficiently, although with the new heating system, it has taken a lot of getting used to, but out of hours help was spot on and very helpful. The only thing really should have been we got proper face to face instructions on how to use the heating system and what to look out for etc. It is a brand new concept and not overly known by people.

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

Really the bin collection days would be more helpful for everyone to know to save on rubbish being left at the kerb, but off the top of my head I can't think of anything. Will also be nice when the massive holes in the road down The Gallops are fixed !!
