A guide to living in Leicester

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

I really love my local area. It is near so many amenities as well as near city centre, there are so many fun cultural places which hosts events. However that can mean at nights it can be quite noisy outside. I have paid for a parking space but there’s no guarantee that will be parking available which is quite annoying. However, there are places to park around the area. The location is near a Lidl and It’s a short walk to town so I have easy access to the market for my fruits and vegetables and a local African good shop I love (wura food) and butchers as well.

Moving in to building with no lifts. If you think you will struggle in a building with no lifts, try aim for accommodation on lower floor levels or aim for the building with a lift.

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

I wish I had started sorting out my parking earlier rather than later.

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

Location is perfect. Close to the train station, supermarkets, restaurants, bars. Everything you need. Street noise issues exist but are minor and occasional. It's not something to worry about, unless you have zero tolerance.

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

It can take a few days for things to get fixed, but it's reasonable since the building has lots of flats. I never had any major structural problems, and maintenance has always fixed everything I needed.

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

Flats vary too much in size and structure. Most of them are now renewed, but there are still many older ones. I would recommend double-checking whether there are any new flats available, as they tend to be much better than older ones, with a reasonable price difference.

Great location in city centre, next door to the curve, and close to shops and restaurants. Car park availability in city centre is a big plus point.

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

When I have had any issues the property management have been easy to contact and responsive to fix any issues through the week.

Only thing missing from this development is a lift. I guess I have gotten fitter walking the stairs though.
