Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
I’ve lived in Leicester all my life, therefore I know the area well, The Wullcomb is in close proximity to many of the bars, restaurants, shops and theatres. The local parks are also within a short walking distance. Bus and transport routes from the location are also a short walking distance. In terms of antisocial behaviour, The Wullcomb is a concierge managed building; and in the 6 years at the location personally have not come across any issues.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Any issues I have raised have been dealt with in a timely manner via the resident portal app.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
N/a as I was well advised of all required information prior to moving in.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Absolutely love living here and as a young girl living independently feel safe and secure. Always someone on hand to contact if I ever need it. My parcels are always taken in safely which is so helpful.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes. I have had minimal problems but washing machine, smoke detectors and a broken toilet were attended to quickly and efficiently.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Nothing to report. The only possible thing would be that sometimes it is difficult for visitors to park.

Property Management To day I had a tough day with hyperoptic our building provider , inspite of several chasers in the last 35days they could not solve my upgrade for Internet. Charlotte came to my rescue exactly at the right time 0400am to 0900am for one of my toughest 4 hour online certification exam. Her alternative support to execute my task was wonderful. I can never forget this day . I successfully cleared the most difficult and very expensive full of effort in the last 3 months study. Key point. Understand the tenants urgent need and find an alternative to help him over come his issue. Well done Charlotte 👏
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Always ready to help. Many crucial issues addresses within their control.

Very close to shops, train station and city center. Lots of transport link around the area. Very quiet area with minimal noise pollution.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Charlotte is always nice and helpful with all sort of questions I have.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Securing a monthly parking spot across the street (Junior st) is very beneficial if no spot is available at the building.
Manager response

Please come and tell us more regarding the parking this is very interesting, also any recommendations to our gym we can certainly look into but as you know it will depend on the size.

Book a parking space in advance maybe as I think the car park is a bit full
Manager response
Hello Jiahao, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your review, your feedback is super important to us. I apologise regarding the entrance gate, we are looking into having this main road Bike Store door accessible , we need it to be save and secure which at the movement it isn't quite, hence why we cannot allow entry through it . Once it is again we will let you know If there is ever anything you need, do not hesitate to contact us. All the best!
