Really good location, just across the road from Leicester city centre. Good parking options too, either directly at the Wullcomb or big car park just next door.

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

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

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

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

I live around Ajax Avenue in Slough Trading Estate and overall, it’s quite a convenient place to be. One of the best things is how easy it is to get around – transport links are good, and getting into town or even out towards London is straightforward. There are plenty of shops, supermarkets, and places to eat nearby, so I never really struggle to find what I need. The area is lively during the day with lots of businesses around, and I like that there’s always some activity. That said, being in a trading estate does have its downsides. Traffic can get really heavy during peak hours, and with all the lorries and vans moving around, it’s not always the quietest place to live. Parking can be a bit of a challenge too, depending on the time of day. Bin collections are regular, but sometimes the street looks a little busy and crowded because of the commercial setting. All in all, living here is convenient and practical, especially if you work nearby, but if you’re after a quiet, residential feel, this probably wouldn’t be the best fit.

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

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is how busy the traffic can get around the trading estate during peak hours. It’s not something you really notice during a viewing, but once you live here, you realise it can add time to your journeys and make parking more difficult at certain times. I’d also suggest to new neighbours that getting bins organised early is helpful, as collection days are regular but can be strict. On the positive side, I didn’t expect to have such quick access to shops and food outlets, which has been a big convenience.

What is the best feature of your home:

The best feature of my home is the modern, spacious layout that makes it comfortable and easy to live in. I really like the natural light and large windows, which make the space feel bright and welcoming every day. The convenient location with easy access to shops and transport links is definitely the best feature for me. I love the peaceful atmosphere inside the home, even though it’s close to busy areas, which gives me the best of both worlds.

Very convenient, everything’s so close by. Living street is nice im right next to the shopping centre.

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

Very quick and efficient haven’t had any issue as of yet

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

Nothing as of yet, everything was told beforehand and it was helpful

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.
