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.

The location to shops is great as is the location to the bus stop and Bath city centre. The flats are modern and the parcel collection process is efficient. The coffee machine is a nice touch. The gym is great but where it is small sometimes it can be busy.

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

Easy and quick walk to several shops necessary for every-day-living, even closer to the bus stop that takes you to City Center. Far enough away from the retail shops to feel a bit secluded yet a short bus ride to experience the Center. The bar across the street ends its live music at a reasonable hour, neighbors are lovely, trash bins around the area are never over-flowing. It's unlucky positioning if you're in a unit over the bin collection area on Fridays. Just remember to keep your windows closed and you won't have a problem! And closing the windows keeps out almost all noise as well.

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

The response time to any enquiries we’ve had have varied 3-5 business days on a rare occasion, but mostly range from within same day to 24 hours.

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

We wish we knew to request a north-facing sooner, that trash day and farming makes a big impact on open windows, that it’s absolutely necessary to go through the welcome email to get internet as Virgin Media has virtually no clue how to handle moving down one floor in the same building.

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

5 min walk to Oldfield Park train station and 15mins to centre of town. Very bearable road noise, nice green spaces nearby.

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

We didn't really experience any problems whilst living at SBY, but the management team were always friendly and happy to chat.

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

Our apartment was directly above the roller door for the interior carpark, which was quite loud when opening and closing and took us a while to get used to, although knowing that beforehand wouldn't have changed our minds on living there!

I love living in this Bath development. The design is beautiful and fits the local stone style perfectly. The flats are bright, spacious and well laid-out. Facilities like secure bike storage, parcel room and the communal garden are fantastic. Building management is responsive and keeps everything clean. It’s a well-maintained development in a fantastic location.

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

Building management have responded to issues in a timely and professional manner. Reported maintenance matters are typically resolved within a few days, and communal areas are maintained to a high standard.
