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

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.

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.
