Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The area offers a great mix of shops, green spaces, and excellent transport links that make commuting very convenient.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Luke, Alexandra and Rich have been incredibly helpful and a pleasure to interact with, always taking the time to respond thoughtfully and ensure things are resolved efficiently. My experience here has been much more positive thanks to their help and attentiveness.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The coffee table differed from what was advertised/discussed and couldn’t be adjusted at the time. It would be ideal if this could be reconsidered with greater flexibility. Other than that, everything has been good.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
This is an ideally located part of Bath - right on the river, close links to two train stations and great bus links. Lots of activity going on, pubs, sport, cafes, supermarkets and of course beautiful Victoria Park for the best dog walks.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Everything handled in a timely manner and team are easy to communicate with.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
There are so many positives about the building, I don't need to fixate on negatives.

Great apartment block to live in and a great part of the city.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
It's hard to come up with any bad aspects of the area but there are so many good. The countryside all around, the centre of Bath about 20 minutes walking distance away, a train station across the road from the apartment block taking you into the centre of Bath or the other way to Bristol.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management team have done a great job often in difficult circumstances. There was an issue with the hot water last October and the team done very well in dealing with it the best they could. They provided updates everyday of the situation, provided alternative showers with access to hot water, and was able to get the tenants compensation. Overall I think they did a great job and continue to do a great job.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
They isn't really anything that I would of needed to know before moving into the block.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
It really is a fantastic location, perfect walking distance to pretty much anything in Bath . Tesco and Lidl within 5 min walking distance. About 10 mins to get into town
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Caroline and the team have been amazing, can’t fault anything.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Despite being on a main road of Bath - lower Bristol Road -, the sound proofing of the apartments in’s brilliant you can’t hear a thing.
