Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Great locations right in the heart of Sheffield City centre. With shops close by for your everyday essentials and a great mix of bars, clubs and restaurants to enjoy and make the most of the city. Easy access to transport links all around Sheffield and for those who drive, a car park is located a stone throw away. Couldn’t have picked a better location.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Although next to none, any problem we had was addressed immediately and did not cause any issues.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
All my questions were answered when I viewed the property and it definitely lived up to its expectations.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Living on this street is awful, the traffic is constant, there are no traffic lights or crossings so the road is impossible to cross. There are accidents all the time on the road in front of the building. No one can ever get here as the address is useless, most of our post never makes it.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They lied to me about many things including sending out emails and having conversations with people about noise. They make you run around doing all the work then when you give them evidence, that they asked for then, they say they cannot do anything with it. Absolutely useless.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I had known how awful it was to live here and how useless the team would be dealing with ANY issues presented. Many tenants have complained about various issues and have all been met with the same deal with it yourself responses.
