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

Foot access to supermarkets and shops is surrounding area. Easy to get onto motorway and main roads. Some anti-social behaviour on the complex by those who do not live on the complex but LivingWay have increased security around the complex due to this. The bin store area has always been an issue with residents not placing their rubbish in the bins, causing attraction of rodents.

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

I have reported quite a few things since living here and most have been responded to and rectified. There has been 1 occasion where a maintenance person was supposed to come at a set time and did not turn up and the issue has not been resolved.

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

Cost of parking bay and maybe the bin storage situation too

Calm, well-managed living in a great location

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

The area is a genuinely pleasant place to live — plenty of good cafés, independent shops and green spaces, plus reliable transport links that make getting around simple. The street itself is calm, with tidy bin collections and considerate neighbours. Parking is generally manageable, and the only thing I’d welcome is a few more supermarkets within easy walking distance.

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

The management has been excellent — every issue I’ve raised has been dealt with promptly and with real attention, which has made living here feel very easy and well-supported.

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

One thing I wish I’d known beforehand is just how smoothly everything runs day to day. You can’t really appreciate that from a quick viewing. For anyone new, I’d say make the most of how responsive the team is and how welcoming the neighbours are — it makes settling in genuinely straightforward.

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

There are plenty of amenities close by, and it is a very short walk to the town centre. There is some street parking available, but it is for permit holders only, which limits those who can visit by driving.

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

I had issues with the maintenance of my toilet which was solved quickly. I found communication easy and the issue was fixed quickly.

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

The variety and social aspect of the events organised at the building are a great selling point.

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

The location of the proper is very good. The bad thing is they do a lot of maintenance a lot of people into your apartment I don’t feel privacy in here. And very slow elevators. There is no parking space equivalent to the number of tenants. A lot of constructions nearby

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

They took time to solve it, but at the end they solve the problem, but not immediately

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

The parking space availability The number of maintenance they are doing during the year, there’s a lot of construction near us, which is very noisy
