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

Public transport is easily accessible and there is only a short walk required to the nearest shops, schools and pubs. Living on my street can be questionable at times, but that’s only due to certain people living in the area who allow their children to scream at all hours of the day out the front of their houses and also allowing their children to kick their footballs against our garden fence. Some of our fence panels have cracked and i have football scrapes on my car from the football that they sometimes miss the fence and it goes straight over. On one occasion some children actually took it upon themselves to enter my garden as they had no answer at the door, in doing this they broke our garden gate and left it open swinging in the wind causing unnecessary damage, i have no idea how long it was left open for but i have a small dog and my concern would’ve been had he been outside he could’ve escaped.

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

On 2 occasions i have brought up to builders that our fence is broken, and have never heard anything back!

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

It would’ve been helpful to know what days the landscaping team came to cut the grass on the front of our property as they tend to leave grass smeared into our paving stones and all up our door, and if it’s not wiped off almost immediately it stains.

Great staff and affordable lovely housing

Apr 2025

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

It's amazing. In terms of this survey for what can be improved... nothing. It's not in the most nicest historical part of Bath which is no fault of anyone working here. Beyond that it's amazing. Great building. Nice furniture and appliances. The staff are amazing! Giving dog gifts, planning and hosting events. Love it.

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

So far no problems but they answer questions and respond immediately.

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

Nothing. I knew everything before moving in. All was explained and shown to us prior to moving in

Manager response

Hello Kayla, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us 5*review and highlighting some of the key features alongside the team's commitment, the team & I really appreciate it. Please don't hesitate to reach out if we can assist with anything. Kind regards, Tomas & The Spring Wharf Team

Every problem is solved immediately. When I have any problem I contact to manager.

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