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

Close to trains & buses connecting to Surrey & central London. Good range of local shops & restaurants nearby. Some food delivery couriers have difficulty parking their cars when delivering online food orders. Recycling bulky items is difficult without a car/van - there's a charge by local council.

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

Quick responses & resolutions from the maintenance staff (Stuart) for any problems

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

No supermarket nearby since Morrisons closed. Without a car or taking a bus, it's a proper climb uphill with the grocery shopping! Use online order delivery for the heavy goods.

Manager response

Thank you for your kind words and detailed feedback Dan! We're glad to hear you've enjoyed the space and found our team—especially Stuart—helpful over the years. We appreciate your input about local amenities and will continue working to make improvements wherever possible.
