Generally a lovely place and way to live in Stoke - some small changes could make it superb

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

Quality of restaurants and bars in the area seems limited to be honest but I'm used to living in London so I suppose I'm biased. Sainsbury's is close enough and there's the park not far from here. As more things open up in the development I expect the selection and quality will improve. Transport - being next to the station is brilliant! Manc, Brum and London feel very accessible.

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

Disappointed in the issue of being unwilling to repair cracks and imperfections in a brand new flat

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

Not much! Feel like the information was readily provided at viewing and follow-ups were answered by phone and email :)

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

Well maintained, clean and with good amenities. Next to the railway station and the A25 so good location. Great gym and cafe in the lobby and beautiful garden outside.

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

Very responsive and go out of their way to be available to answer queries.

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

I would have been more particular about getting a flat on a higher floor since I believe it may be quieter when facing the A25.
