My experience moving into my new home

Mia S (Tenant)

The Farriers, MK8

Aug 2025

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

I feel that the area needs developing in terms of local amenities like shops, restaurants etc. The phone service also needs to be sorted as there is none due to it being a new development. Other than that, I am thoroughly enjoying my new home.

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

Yes, Mustafa has been outstanding. I had an issue with my dishwasher and once I had raised this, he had this resolved the next day.

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

I would have liked to have guidance on how to set up my heating and hot water on to a timer as the facilities here are completely new and I have no experience in using anything like this before.

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

Great open spaces and walking trails for our little Dog. The area would benefit from more local facilities such as a gym, a Swimming pool, restaurants, and convenience stores. The access road is somewhat disappointing. But I believe this is just while the building is ongoing. It has caused many delivery attempts to be aborted and angry uber drivers

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

Mustafa Dar has been quick and responsive to any issues that we have come across.

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

It would be nice to know when the Shetland drive road will be open from all directions.
