The location of the building is amazing and close to everywhere specially the university and the train station and the city center The bad thing about the building is lack of parking spaces to fulfill the needs of all the tenants and the waiting list is long.

They are amazing and lucky to have them as they are very polite and treat us as part of the family

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Very close to Guildford Train Station and the Town Centre which has a wide variety of shops, restaurants and bars. Lovely walking trails to explore nearby. No parking for visitors at the development or on the street. Noise can be heard from the trains but it is not as intrusive as I thought it would be.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
I have not experienced any problems or issues that I have had to report.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They answer within a matter of hours and the problem is usually fixed or some correspondence sent within 24 hours
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
There’s nothing really, the introduction and when they showed us around had all the info we needed I wish the activities they host were a little later but that’s it just because it’s hard to get from the city and back in time for when they start

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Absolutely love living here — it’s such a convenient and well-connected location! The property is just a short walk from the bus and train station, making commuting really easy and reliable. The high street is close by and offers a great mix of local shops, supermarkets, cafes, and takeaways, so everything you need is right on your doorstep. There’s a good range of restaurants and pubs nearby, from casual spots to more stylish places for a night out, and a few lovely green spaces within walking distance for a bit of fresh air and relaxation. Transport links overall are excellent, with frequent buses and easy access to main roads, although at peak times traffic can get a little busy. Living on the street itself is generally peaceful and pleasant. Overall, it’s a fantastic place to live with great convenience and a friendly local atmosphere.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management and maintenance team have been excellent throughout — always responsive, professional, and quick to act. Any issues raised have been handled promptly, often resolved within a short timeframe, which really gives peace of mind. Communication is clear and consistent, and they’re approachable if you ever need support or updates. It’s reassuring to know that any concerns are taken seriously and dealt with efficiently, making living here a smooth and stress-free experience.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I absolutely love the range of amenities here — having everything in one place makes such a difference! The gaming room and cinema room are perfect for relaxing and socialising, while the gym is well-equipped and really convenient for staying active without leaving the building. The workspace and garden room are ideal for working from home, offering a warm,safe and comfortable environment when you need to focus, and the snug areas are great for unwinding afterwards. It’s also a huge bonus that the building is pet-friendly, which makes it feel even more like home. Overall, the facilities really elevate the living experience and add great value day-to-day.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Quite far from most places I needed to commute to, and the station is not close, so getting around was less convenient than expected. I often had to take a bus into central or toward the airport, which added extra time to most journeys.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Very attentive throughout and impressively quick with responses, which made the whole experience feel smooth and well looked after. Communication was clear, helpful, and reliable from start to finish, and that level of responsiveness really stood out in a positive way.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I knew it was a bit farther from the station than expected, and that the high street was the main convenient spot nearby for shops, food, and day-to-day essentials. It would have helped to plan journeys and errands a little better beforehand.
