Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Amazingly well placed for the centre of a vibrant town and incredibly hand for getting into london with the station so close.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Laureta was always very helpful, nothing seemed like too much trouble. Everything got sorted without fuss and requests for additional info was always helpfully provided. Commendable.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Nothing really - other that my car space kept getting delayed.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Perfect spot, next to a big tescos, train station, the old town. It’s an ideal location as everything I need is within walking distance. The sound proof is great too, can’t even hear the trains
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Only just moved in so haven’t needed to raise anything yet, but the move in process itself was smooth and communication has been amazing so far.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Honestly nothing major. The location is even better than I expected, everything you need is on your doorstep. Worth knowing the soundproofing is genuinely good though, you’d think being this close to the train station would be an issue but you can’t hear a thing from inside.

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.

That 'fully furnished' excluded smaller items such as a TV and kitchen utensils.
