Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The location is very central and highly convenient for a lot of things. However, it is right next to the train station which can be incredibly noisy with trains/announcements if you are on that side of the building. The lack of AC means summer is a choice of noise or heat. There is also some antisocial behavior in the area being in the city centre and the security measures of the building are terrible. Car park garage door has been broken for the entirety of my tenancy allowing thieves access, doors are constantly left open as the mechanism doesn't allow them to close. This has been raised by multiple tenants after incident and has not been resolved
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management team are great but actually getting action from Grainger seems very protracted and difficult
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Just how noisy the train station announcements were.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Central to Nottingham so an ideal place to live if you want access to nearby amenities. Quiet at night - parking a nightmare.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Haven’t raised anything yet so cannot comment on how it’s been handled.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
How bad the parking was & the immersion boiler that doesn’t hold heat for longer than 24 hours
Manager response
Hello Alex, Thank you for your feedback. All our apartments are all electric as we do not have gas in the building, and the EPC rating for your home is D. Our maintenance technician will be able to attend to ensure the energy features in your home are set at optimum settings. Unfortunately we do not offer parking at British Waterways, further reinforced by the signage in place There are local NCP carparks that the community team can give you guidance on to find the most cost effective solution for your parking needs. If you do have any further issues you would like to discuss, please do not hesitate to coma end see myself or one of the team, where we will always be happy to help if we can.

The best flat I’ve seen in Nottingham, in terms of location, design, comfort, and the management is fantastic.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
I think this is the best location in Nottingham! There’s everything around, and the train station is like a 4 minute walk away. Loads of cafes, restaurants, shops a huge Sainsbury’s, and other local supermarkets within a short walk
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Very accommodating management. We had an issue with our washing machine (faulty machine) and the management gave us a solution immediately while dealing with the repairs. Also, they host fun little events every now and again for the tenants to participate in and get to know each other.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The only downside is that there is no parking, but we are very happy here with everything else. The management goes above and beyond.
