10/10 would always choose to stay here again if I moved back

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

Extremely close to the city centre and to Highcross which saved me many a time! Not noisy at all with the main road. A little far from shops

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

Always responded in a timely manner. Was amazing with repairs

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

I don’t have anything to add here, I was happy with what I found out

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

The well kept community area is the best part of this property. Working from home is so much easier with the work pods available. Also, the property is pretty close City center which makes it so much more convenient. The only one aspect I would recommend to work on is the security, in the past there have been one or two incidences when non-residents (also not relatives/friends of residents) have been seen trespassing.

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

Very professional and well accessible property management team. Quick to resolve any queries.

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

I wish I had known more about the parking situation as there are limited sports. Although I did get a space eventually but would have preferred if it was available earlier.

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

Perfect location, city centre location whilst still feeling like a quietish area, a nice balance. Parking no issue now I have a space within the residence. Never had any issues regarding crime/safety in local area.

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

Very efficient resolution on both occasions I’ve had maintenance issue.

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

I’m from Leicester so nothing personally. For somebody that doesn’t know the area an drives, parking could be a real issue which should be communicated.

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

Fantastic location!! So close to leicester city centre, 10 minute walk away and there are great parks within walking distance too. Lots of students around due to lots of student accommodation, so be wary of that, it can be quite noisy.

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

Can take quite a while to get an email response to queries.

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

The bills are quite confusing, wish I had asked more questions about this at the viewing and what you can and can't put on the walls.

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

The location is easily accessible to bus station, good parking availability, no traffic noise. Council is maintaining this surrounding very neatly.

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

Building management was very good initially but now the residents associate is not responsible to answer any queries and not responding to any problems we are raising.

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

If I had known the exact time of move in on the move in date, it would have been so helpful.
