Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
It’s lovely here a lovely community with nice walks and space. There’s a coop in the village and a coffee shop on the way. Bin collections have been easy, no traffic noise where we are along the river. Overall a quiet village with friendly people. Supermarket and other shops are within easy reach
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Day time property management/ maintenance have been a bit slow in responding and attending and the first visit was quick and the issue was not resolved which then lead to the emergency team having to attend. The whole emergency team were great, communicating at every stage and resolving the issue. Thank you
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Nothing to add here we are discovering more and more about the area and all good so far

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The area boasts a diverse range of shops, from small local boutiques to larger chain stores. Public transport is generally convenient, with frequent bus and train services.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Building management has been highly responsive to any issues raised. They address maintenance requests promptly and ensure that common areas are well-maintained. Communication is clear and effective, making it easy to resolve any concerns quickly.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
One thing I wish I had known before moving in is the level of noise from nearby traffic during peak hours. While the area is generally quiet, the rush hour can bring a noticeable increase in noise, which might be a consideration for light sleepers. But windows and doors are noise proof which is really good.
