A guide to living in Nottinghamshire

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

Lovely location for me, close to Gedling country park and feels nicely tucked away but has easy links to the rest of Nottingham

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

There was a little confusion over ordering bins from the council - so a smoother process there would be helpful.

What is the best feature of your home:

The space and the light. I think the house has been very cleverly designed.

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

Living at Edwalton Fields has been a very pleasant and peaceful experience so far. The neighborhood is quiet, well-maintained, and feels very safe and family-friendly. There are convenient local amenities and green spaces nearby, making it a great environment for daily walks and relaxing. Parking is generally adequate, and the overall atmosphere is calm with very little traffic noise.

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

The property management team and our consultant have been very responsive and professional, addressing all our questions promptly and clearly providing all necessary move-in guidance.

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

I wish I had known beforehand just how wonderfully peaceful, quiet, and beautiful the surrounding environment would be right from day one. It makes living here an absolute joy.

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

Local shops around this area are excellent you have a CO-OP down tbh road as well as Langold high street close by and Worksop town centre is 12 minute drive away. Parking is excellent, and the area is very quiet.

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

We’ve raised an issue since moving in and building management have acknowledged them and logged them for action. Communication has been reasonably clear, though the actual fixes are still pending at this stage.

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

It’s worth comparing the different plots on the development closely before deciding - floor area and layout can vary more than you’d expect, and features like a separate reception room aren’t on every plot.

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

Good public transport, very family friendly, lovely area and easily accessible. Aldi nearby and Sainsburys being built currently but both are right near the development entrance. Would love more towards the back end of the development or some local pubs/bars.

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

They have responded but it has taken (and is still taking) a while to get things done. Plumber and electrician needed to come out and I had to chase and then never turned up when the appointment was booked. Took about 3 weeks to sort but got there eventually. Wifi is still non existent

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

I WISH WE HAD BEEN TOLD WE DIDN’T HAVE WIFI. The agency made a huge deal out of the fact that the wifi would be included and installed from the move in date but it wasn’t until we got the keys that we were told there was a delay. It’s now looking like 2 months with nothing but a 4G dongle that is awful and very frustrating. I feel like we were massively misled as we would’ve made alternative arrangements if we’d have known we didn’t have it

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

Good location, lots of restaurants, cafes and shops all within a short walking distance. Just 5 minutes walk to train and coach station.

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

Building management is excellent. They respond fast. I reported a jammed door lock and Christos responded promptly. The door lock was fixed quickly and professionally.

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

No parking but not an issue with me, public transport like buses and trams very close by.
