Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
There is nothing next to the development, and it's too warm. If you open the windows, it's too loud because a busy road is right next door, if you close the windows it's a green house.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Not applicable, I haven't reported any issues so far.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Super warm building, and bills super expensive comparatively to other accommodations.
Manager response
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience has not fully met expectations. We understand your comments around value for money and appreciate that residents will naturally compare their experience with other developments in Sheffield. Our aim is to provide high-quality homes, well-maintained shared spaces and a positive resident experience, so we are disappointed to hear that you feel the building has not delivered this for you. We are also sorry to hear that you have found the apartment too warm, particularly during warmer weather. Comfort within the apartments is important to us, and we would encourage you to report this to the building management team so they can look into your specific apartment and advise on any practical steps that may help. Regarding utility costs, these can vary depending on usage, tariff arrangements and apartment type, but we appreciate your concern and would be happy to discuss this with you in more detail. We are pleased to hear that you have experienced some sense of community through the gym sessions. We also provide a range of resident events and engagement opportunities throughout the year, and we are committed to continuing to grow the community within the building. We always welcome resident feedback and suggestions on the types of events or activities they would like to see more of. As you have not yet raised these concerns with the management team directly, we would really welcome the opportunity to speak with you and better understand your experience. Please contact the team so we can look into the matters you have raised and see how we can help. Thank you again for your feedback.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Several local shops within walking distance, although like many high street a few closed units. Several open spaces good for walking dogs. Excellent transport links with the A1 and M1 motorway links only 10 minutes away. Parking could become an issue as the development has more people moving in, as with most new build development’s.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Not had to raise any issues so far, however the response via email during the application process and referencing process was excellent.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Only been in the property since the beginning of this week and everything so far has been as expected.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
There is hardly any traffic noise however we do have a motorbike and a red car driving on the paths. There is a variety of people living here DWP, pensioners, young families. Amble parking if people choose to be considerate to others. If everyone looks after these houses they will remain beautiful for years. All depends I guess on whether some tenants choose to have pride in where they live x
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I was alittle disappointed in the lack of second bedroom fitted wardrobe. On rightmove it misled me as the Morseley demonstrated it did have it.
What is the best feature of your home:
I have a beautiful garden and huge windows for light xx
