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

The poor social life, they told me they were organising a few event a month, in 4 months, there was only one coffee morning organised … I moved to the city by myself so it was one of the most important factor for me to be in a building with social life. Very disappointed in this aspect. We can’t even meet our neighbours through a common social group.

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

Shops, pubs, and the like are very good. There are a lot of them and very close to the building. Though there are 2 disappointing things: bin collections and car parking. Bin collection is full very often! Re car parking, I do believe you should include it into the rent if you provide high-quality services. This is an essential part.

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

The location of The James is totally ideal for me. It's very central and close to many shops, bars, and restaurants. Everything is within a short walk, even beautiful open parks. The transport links are exceptional and parking has never been a problem for me. Bin collections are regular and despite being on a busy street the noise is completely acceptable.

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

I haven't had any issues yet. But should any occur I know it will be dealt with quickly and professionally.

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

I didn't expect everyone (residents and staff) to be so helpful and friendly. I've only lived here two months and have made some incredible friends.
