Wise living is good and will always recommend as long as you don't mind the yearly increase in rent.

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

The development has a modern design and makes a good first impression, but some elements feel a bit style-over-substance. While the communal areas look sleek, they aren’t always maintained to the standard you’d expect. Facilities such as the gym and shared outdoor spaces are useful, though they can become crowded and equipment isn’t always in full working order.

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

They have responded but very poorly. We recently needed repairs due to a leak and the response was poor when the work was finally completed after months of an unlivable situation, the workmen left the house filled with rubbish for us to get rid of.

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

Wish I knew the lack of care they feel for the tenants

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

The area which the house is located is brilliant as it’s close the schools shops and motorway. Parking is an issue as people tend to park in my space as they are not labelled.

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

They have emailed back on fix flow but takes a while to even respond and then waiting days for an appointment to come through

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

That the rent was going to go so high for such a small house.

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

The local area around Assembly Park is peaceful and safe. There are several supermarkets, coffee shops and restaurants nearby, and Telford Shopping Centre is only a short drive away. Public transport is convenient, with bus routes and the train station not too far. Parking on our street is easy, and bin collections are regular and reliable. Overall, it’s a pleasant and convenient place to live.

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

Management responded quickly and professionally to any issues, always making sure everything was resolved efficiently.

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

It would have been nice to know that the management team regularly organizes community events. It really helps to get to know neighbours and makes the place feel welcoming.
