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.

It’s a 15 min walk from town so extremely close to any bars, shops and parks, parking is amazing and there’s barely any traffic noise

Yes all of them and they have all been sorted very quickly
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
How quiet it is here and how stylish the new builds are

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:
Only one thing is that lounge is more likely study place. But I thought I can use this place with my kid freely.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Frederick House is located in a very convenient location with easy access to prominent bus links, short walks to the supermarket, and close to town centre as well. This area however is a constantly developing area, and often find some heavy noise.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Building maintenance is generally easy to request and quick to respond.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Everything was really clear before moving in. The property manager made sure I had everything I needed prior to moving in.
