Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Ideal location. Range of coffee shops, cafes, supermarkets and local shops nearby as well as being a quick, flat walk into town. Close to some lovely pubs and green spaces. 5 mins walk from oldfield park train station, and also on a number of bus routes which is really helpful.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Management are really friendly and approachable, we never have any issues raising anything with them and they have always been incredibly helpful.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The staff here organise really great events for tenants such as summer parties, pub quiz nights and wine tasting etc. They are always doing lovely things like leaving bunches of lavender in reception for residents, or organising community dog walks.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The development is exceptionally well maintained and provides a safe and welcoming environment. The grounds are beautifully kept, communal areas are always tidy, and the overall standard of the property is excellent. The location is convenient, and the community has a friendly, peaceful atmosphere. I really love the events that the team host. Justin and the Reception staff are amazing! Parking can be a little tricky with no guest parking, but this is only a minor inconvenience. Overall, any small issues are addressed quickly and efficiently
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The maintenance man (didnt catch his name) deserves special recognition. Had a small issue moving in with some loose cabinets but it was dealt with super quick!
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
No visitor parking can make it a little hard to have family around, but it is a very busy area.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Signal Box Yard is in a great location with easy access to Bath city centre, making daily life very convenient. The area feels safe and peaceful, with attractive surroundings and pleasant walking routes along the river.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
When I raised an issue shortly after moving in, the management team responded promptly, communicated clearly and arranged a suitable solution. They have always been approachable, professional and willing to help whenever I have needed assistance.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Nothing significant comes to mind. My experience has matched my expectations, and the management team has been helpful whenever I have had any questions.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The location of spring wharf is perfect. For me, I am close to family and a short walk away from the train and town- it ticks every box!
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Quickly and professionally. They are always very polite
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
It would have been good to know that the previous WiFi service wasn’t disconnected by the last tenant which caused problems for days after I moved in. Knowing a bit more about guest parking would have also been useful! I really would have liked the co working space, it’s a shame it’s not available
Manager response
Hi Hannah, Thank you for your lovely feedback - it’s great to hear that your move-in felt smooth and that the team made such a positive difference. We’ll also share your comments with them! We appreciate your notes around sound transfer and the co-working space, as well as the feedback on WiFi and guest parking at move-in. We’re glad you’re enjoying life at Spring Wharf.
