A guide to living in Sheffield

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

Excellent location in city center. Parking is great in private carpark Main concern is upcoming road changes upcoming - driving access may be tricky once implemented with many one way roads planned on young street and surrounding roads

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

Martin responds as soon as he can, and reaches out to the appropriate person if he is unable to fix the issue.

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

Be aware of the upcoming road changes if this is important to you. Windows have been reviewed multiple times in our time here, and the effectiveness of insulation will be clearer this coming winter. Otherwise, this building is managed by a great and friendly team, who liaises well with the landlord Centrick.

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

I love the resident gatherings and different things that are done for building residents. That would’ve been a motivating factor for me to move into this building. And honestly how great Martin and Bara would be to work with. They are a huge plus to this building and they were a big factor in my choosing to re-sign my lease.

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

The poor social life, they told me they were organising a few event a month, in 4 months, there was only one coffee morning organised … I moved to the city by myself so it was one of the most important factor for me to be in a building with social life. Very disappointed in this aspect. We can’t even meet our neighbours through a common social group.

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

Shops, pubs, and the like are very good. There are a lot of them and very close to the building. Though there are 2 disappointing things: bin collections and car parking. Bin collection is full very often! Re car parking, I do believe you should include it into the rent if you provide high-quality services. This is an essential part.

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

Excellent. Paul is the-best-of-the-best guy :) He does everything quickly and with high quality.

As for more, the parcel storage is the most frustrating thing currently.
