WISH I FOUND THE SAXONS SOONER

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The Saxons delivers far more than just a modern apartment it offers a community. It strikes an excellent balance between privacy and connection. You get the perks of central city living. We have Highcross mall 1 minute away , transport to all over and entertainment without feeling exposed or overwhelmed all within the area. The staff (special shout out to Charlotte) and the community genuinely contribute to a warm, helpful atmosphere. If you want a place that feels like home, where people care The Saxons hits that mark quite well.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Always helpful when ever we needed something. Awesome attitude.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Wish l had heard about it sooner .l would have moved here sooner
Manager response

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Good: Well maintained common area downstairs, good co working space, spacious flats with good storage, good location, good proximity to shops. Bad: LOTS of antisocial behaviour from student buildings next door. Loud parties until the early hours of the morning, students taking nitrous oxide in the street and leaving rubbish everywhere. Not much parking in the building or outside of it. Often there are lots of cars double parked along double yellow lines and on the pavements. There have been issues with teenagers getting into the building and vandalising the building.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The onsite building management have always responded to any issues promptly and I have never had a problem with them. They have always been a lovely team who try to get things sorted as quickly as possible. They have always made attempts to make everyone in the building feel welcome.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish that I had known how bad the noise and anti-social behaviour would be from the nearby student building. I never would have moved in if I had known that I would consistently get a poor, interrupted sleep for at least 3-4 nights of the week (currently it is every single day!)
