The building management makes excuses rather than dealing with any issues.

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

Wish I had known the development is 80% occupied by students.

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

The local area is convenient and pleasant to live in, with easy access to The center and a cold store within the building. People around are extremely nice and helpful. The area is considered safe.

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

Building management has been very responsive and supportive these days. When I had an issue with the boiler, Kit responded quickly, was extremely helpful, and very kind throughout the process. The issue was handled efficiently and communication was clear.

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

It’s reassuring to know how responsive and helpful the building management team is. Having someone like Kit, Lidya, Charlotte as well as all the other staff members who responds quickly and kindly makes a big difference when issues arise, and it’s something new residents will really appreciate.
