So disappointed in A2 Dominion / Fabrica

Rose Y (Owner)

Verified Resident

Amber Parkside, GU6

Apr 2025

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

The development is close to local parks and countryside with local shops being in easy distance for walking and cycling. The design of the houses is really good. BUT finish is poor and management of the site very poor.

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

That they are primarily a social housing provider - quality doesn't seem to be in their thinking,

What is the best feature of your home:

The design of the house is lovely and the location near to Cranleigh and the Countryside

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

Immediate access to the train station is perfect though the noise can take some getting used to. The town centre is minutes away with everything you’d need

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

The lift breaks down a lot and is fixed asap. Haven’t had anything else needed

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

Just to be mindful of the noise from the trains, it’ll mean you can’t sleep with the window open

Great apartment and location, marred by builder cost savings on site

Brightwells Yard, GU9

Apr 2025

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

Very convenient town centre location, close to shops, civic amenities, leisure and vast range of excellent eateries. Good road links and train services to London .

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

Building management company has sometimes been slow to respond, mainly because builder is still responsible for problems. The builder generally resolves apartment problems satisfactorily.

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

I got what I expected, however I was aware that builder had cut costs from original build plans.

Apr 2025

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

We live very close to the train station which links Guildford very well to London and airports, the station carpark is right next to the building and not too expensive. The city has a nice range of shops including local restaurants

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

When our shower was leaking it got resolved within the day.

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

We thought we would be allowed pets but there are no pets allowed which isn’t specified in the tenancy agreement
