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

Everything was pretty clear in the website. I guess when I first moved in, I didn’t know there were LED lights under the kitchen cabinets, which are really wonderful at night time. I randomly discovered them a week ago, even though I’ve lived in this building for about six months now.

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

BW is a fabulous development with an extremely convenient location. I travel quite a lot and being close to the station was crucial for me when choosing a flat, and BW truly delivered on that point. Living on the canal cannot be more delightful, and being close to basically everything that Notts has to offer in the city centre is really great. BW is very well connected to the rest of the city (tram, bus) and the country (trains, coaches). I have not experienced any anti-social behaviour, traffic or any other noise in my months living here, nor any odours from the canal.

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

I have not had any issues to report or to be in contact with the landlord.

Nothing really, everything was absolutely clear during my viewing.

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

Living in the city centre is perfect for my job, and there’s so many shops and cafes nearby to our disposal, nothing that we need is far away, and being right on the canal is amazing

In terms of any concerns, the management has responded and put my mind as ease within 24 hours of the concern being raised

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

As a former Brighton resident, I wish I had known how easy it is to live in a city, and how welcoming everyone in the community is, i would’ve moved a lot sooner!

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

The location is amazing. Close to everything you might need, five minutes walking to the central square, same distance to the train station. Yet it’s very quiet.

So far, any issues have been resolved quickly and efficiently.

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

The minor issue is that boats sometimes moor along the canal by the building, and their stoves or engines can make the air quite smoky.
