Always responded promptly, and if there was any sort of delay this was always communicated well

Nothing, just wished I’d used the communal space more!

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

The Wullcomb is an excellent place to live. After selling my house, I wanted the freedom to focus on travelling and building my new business, and living here has allowed me to do exactly that, completely stress-free. Karl and his team have been outstanding; they’re always available, supportive, and ensure everything runs smoothly.

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

The team here are extremely proactive and always quick to assist with any maintenance issues. The communal areas are excellent, and my business partner regularly works from my apartment without ever having problems with parking, thanks to the team’s support. Johan provides a warm welcome to my guests and ensures we’re well looked after, while Raj is always helpful with parking when needed. The entire team are consistently attentive and ready to assist whenever required

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

The property is very close to all shops and restaurants as it is located exactly opposite Highcross centre. Bus stops to multiple locations are located a 5 minute walk away, and the main bus station is a 10 minute walk down the road. I was very comfortable living here as it was extremely close to all amenities and my place of work. Although I didn't own a care, there is parking available at an extra cost.

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

I never had any major issues with the building, however the management team helped me a lot when I had questions about council tax, utilities, etc when I first moved in.

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

I had moved in after only seeing a video of the property I rented as I was living abroad at that point. I was very happy when I saw the place in person as it was exactly as was promised.

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

Leicester is very suitable for living and Arches definitely has the advantage of excellent location. Will have some noises with windows open(party students on the next building) but not too much a problem.

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

Maintenance issues sometimes solved quickly but major issues like electricity meters not fixed and caused prolonged problems

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

Be aware that the staff are all very nice(they tried their best) but because of the whole management structure and frequent change of the landlord companies it will be a headache to get the deposit back.
