Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The area surrounding The Kell offers a great balance of convenience and lifestyle. There is a wide range of local shops, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants and pubs within easy reach, making everyday errands simple. Several parks and green spaces are also nearby, providing excellent opportunities for walking, exercise and relaxation. Transport links are strong, with regular bus services and good road access making commuting straightforward. Parking is generally manageable, bin collections are reliable, and the neighbourhood feels friendly and well cared for. Noise levels are typically low, with only the usual traffic during busier periods.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The management team at The Kell have always been approachable, professional and responsive. Any questions or concerns have been dealt with promptly, and communication has generally been clear and helpful throughout my time living here.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I had known just how convenient and well-connected the location of The Kell was before moving in. Access to local amenities, transport links and green spaces made settling in much easier than expected and has been one of the biggest advantages of living here.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Living here is a lovely and quiet with the residents being very friendly. There is no traffic noise for the development being along side a main road. The parking at the current moment is a little difficult as it’s a 5 minute walk from the apartment itself but this just as things are still under development.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Has been more then happy to help with any issue we have run in to and always makes you feel like a priority when getting things resolved

Helpful tip: When setting up bills just bare in mind being a new build some places take a little long as your a new address

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The local area is convenient and well connected, with good transport links and easy access to shops, restaurants, and essential amenities. The environment feels calm and pleasant, and the area appears clean and well maintained. Parking and general accessibility are reasonable, and overall it seems like a comfortable place to live. So far, my experience with the area has been positive and I appreciate how convenient everything is nearby.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Any questions or concerns I raised were handled professionally and responded to promptly. Communication was clear, helpful, and reassuring throughout the process. Megan Larkin in particular was very supportive and always willing to assist whenever I needed clarification or help.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
One thing I would say is that the process becomes much easier when all documents are prepared in advance, especially guarantor and referencing documents. Aside from that, the experience has been smooth and well organised so far, and the support from the team has made the process far less stressful.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The area has a really good mix of local shops, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants and pubs, so most day-to-day needs are easy to sort without travelling far. There are also several parks and open spaces nearby which are great for walks, relaxing or exercising. Transport links are very convenient, with regular bus services and good road connections making commuting straightforward. Parking on the street is generally manageable and bin collections are reliable and well organised. The street itself is friendly and peaceful, with very little anti-social behaviour and only normal levels of traffic noise during busier times of the day.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Building management have generally been quick to respond, helpful and easy to communicate with whenever any issues or questions have been raised.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Across the road, there is a nice local pub and behind that there is a large Asda Supermarket. Across the road there is a mosque and a lidl. There is also a bus stop across the road by Asda, the bins a collected at the same time every week and there is no anti social activity and there is plenty of parking available.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes, theyve been swift in their responses to any concerns i may have as well as the solutions offered are genuine and thought of.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I think that although you get to see it, the garden space in the evening really shows its worth.
