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

Pros- totally gorgeous accommodation, very simple and very lovely staff Cons- so so much building work going on. My apartment looks right on to a major building work so I can never sit on my balcony (even on weekends)

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

Brilliantly! They have done so so much to help and having the WhatsApp number is brilliant!

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

That there were building works going on right behind!

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

Really good location to live in. A short walking distance of a large supermarket and a lovely walking route that connects to green spaces. Bus stops are in close proximity to the development with frequent buses into the city centre. It is very easy to get to shops, restaurants, pubs and bars. There is a multi-purpose arts venue next door that do events which is great for the local and wider community.

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

Promptly. Communicating clearly with me and updating me at all times.

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

That there would be a lot of building work happening nearby.

My comments: -Reception staff didn’t have any fob for me to get into the parking space! -Reception staff didn’t activate my car registration so that I can get into the parking space (I went to Finzles Reach office myself to finish everything) -It’s been more than a week & both heaters are not working in our apartment & not fixed yet (it seems we need to wait for one month at least & adapt to the cold winter without any heating system!!!)

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

Unfortunately no, I don’t know how long I need to wait for them to fix both heaters in my apartment!?

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

I don’t if the problem is with the “process” or “people” or both!!!? You need to be professional enough to manage the property in the right way.

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

Put up with living in a building site for nearly 5 years, anti social noise and litter left by builders, constant works noise from 8am.site manager is useless

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

The sales pitch is nonsense ,the tapes blow in the house and the doors are warped.

What is the best feature of your home:

Garden , with crap soil and leatherbacks , drainage issues

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

Very central location. Right next to Bristol Road which has many lovely bars such as the nowhere bar and the Royal Oak. The streets of Bath are very clean and living next to a main road allows for easy access if you have a car.

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

Building management have responded to the majority of questions queries and concerns, however I have not received a satisfactory response as to why the scaffolding is still up.

Defiantly participate in all of the events organised by Spring Wharf. It’s a great way to get to know your neighbours
