Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Very nice, quiet, and safe commuter area with excellent transport links to London. It’s also right next to Stansted Airport, which is extremely convenient for travel.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Any issues I had with the flat were dealt with immediately. I always received a prompt response, and solutions were put in place straight away, which is something that’s hard to find. The building manager was always proactive and worked quickly to resolve any issues, making the whole experience stress-free.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Nothing to mention, the fact that it’s a landlord who really cares makes the whole experience a lot better.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
There is a range of shops , restaurants and bars in Stevenage . Not to mention we have a Tesco right around the corner . I was stunned at how I could go for dessert or even dinner or just go to the cinema if I wanted and all within a reasonable walking distances .
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes they have , usually within a couple days maintenance will come and sort out any issues
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
They were prettt transparent about the parking situation to be fair . So with one beds you don’t get a. Parking space but with the two beds you get one parking space and that comes with a charge of £125 per month which is pretty steep .

Property oversold. Property manager undervalued. Rent high. Work completion low.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
There has been many issues with the property, everything seems delayed as to a response from the contractors and as a builder I don't understand as to why. Materials are easy to source.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Not really. My front door isn't sorted. No stones. Shed gate isnt fitted properly. Lost more issues...
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
There is nothing more I wish to add so I am filling in 50+ characters

Amazingly well placed for the centre of a vibrant town and incredibly hand for getting into london with the station so close.

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.

Nothing really - other that my car space kept getting delayed.
