Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Pub is very close so is the gym although they have their own gym too. Parking was very convenient as Bath can be a pain to find parking. Bus stops are very close too and shops are a short walk up the road.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
I don't think we had any problems in our short stay.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I can't think of anything. I do wish this type of facility would have been around in 2007 when I first moved to Bath.

The area is great, with a quick train right outside to Bristol and a short walk into the town centre. Lots of pubs nearby and a couple coffee shops.

Management and Maintenance always responded quickly to any issues we had (there were'nt many).
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
There was a delay in utility bills, but easily sorted once we got them.
Manager response

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Excellent location with multiple transport links available in close proximity. City centre within walking distance, as are all the beautiful green spaces. Heaps to do in Bath!
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Minor issue with balcony door raised, speedy response and resolution
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I’ve relocated here from West Sussex, and do not regret my decision to rent at SBY. The community is just lovely. People are friendly and chatty and the management team organise a range of socials you can get involved in if you choose, which are great fun.
