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

Very near the city centre and school, I like how convenient it is to just pop down to Tesco in the middle of the night for a snack and head over to brewdog on Sundays for the half off discount

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

In general I haven't had any problems yet, but I believe based on my experience with interacting with management staff that they will be very on the ball when it comes to solving any issues raised

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

I didn't realise there was a roof terrace before I moved in which would've absolutely been a bonus when I was deciding whether to move in, also love the green courtyard near the bin storage, very neat rustic design with the plants and metal ornaments around

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

The Ironworks is in an X industrial area so it is not in the middle of a central business district however there is still grocery shops in walking distance and a short walk to the city centre. It is close to the universities and away from lots of the noise of sheffield. There doesn’t seem to be too much antisocial behaviour or criminal activity as there is not much value around the only other residential places are other apartments and student living which is nice as that does not attract much crime.

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

as mentioned, I wanted to chase up the bills for the hot water as we didn’t want to pay them in one lump so yeah, it took six months for them to send us our first bill. We’ve had nine month tenancy and we are only two weeks left living here and we still have not been sent an inventory report that we can add to.

I wish I had known about the letting agent company and their way of doing things.

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

The location is fantastic — just a few minutes' walk from everything you need. There's a Tesco right outside the door, and public transport is very convenient with a bus stop directly in front of the building. Uber is also readily available in the area. The only downside is some noise on weekends from people nearby.

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

Yes, they have always been helpful and quick to respond to any issues I raised. Their support has been consistent and reliable throughout my stay.

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is how incredibly convenient it is to have Tesco literally right outside the door — it saves so much time!
