A guide to living in Wales

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

Living in the city centre means everything is on your doorstep shops, bars, restaurants, gyms, and parks. You’re 2 minutes from Cardiff Central station, so transport is super convenient. The area can be a bit noisy at night, especially on weekends, but you get used to it. Bin collections are regular and the streets are generally clean. Being in the heart of the city comes with a great buzz and lots of things to do.

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

The maintenance of the building is great, very clean and everything works fine

With our a doubt the estate is one of the ugliest estates I have ever lived in - bland housing design, area is lifeless poor maintenance of the surrounding area. Location is quite good but public transport is horrendous. It never looks clean, houses look dirty - It’s classed as old at melons for purpose of paying higher council tax. Persimmon and Remus combined are an absolute shambles to deal with - poor quality home build and even worse maintenance of the estate.

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

How bad persimmon were - wish I knew about their reputation as a cowboy house builder

What is the best feature of your home:

Nothing -poor poor quality - hidden fees that are just a ploy to extort money from its residents

This is in a perfect spot for transport links. It’s also right in the centre of town so convenient for everything that’s going on. Parking is a problem though, so it’s better not to have a car!

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

I haven’t raised any problems or issues with building management. Although as I’ve said above, I would like to be able to cool the apartment during the hot summer months.

The apartment building Is located In a great place. it is right next to the train station and bus interchange which makes travelling much easier. There are plenty of shops for groceries, and a few shops that are located just round the corner, very convenient for small things. There is a great selection of bars and restaurants independent cafes and shops all within walking distance. Even though the building is close to everything the street noise can barely be heard when in the apartment.

Wood Street house is in the heart of Cardiff. You couldn’t be more central and the transport links are fantastic. The city is vibrant and you have access to so much to do socially and a great range of restaurants and bars.

Staff members like Harita and Hayden are on hand to make the process as seamless as possible. They are supportive and well informed dealing with requests for information or maintenance quickly.

I wish I had known more about the potential for road disruptions and closures around the area. It would not have affected my decision to live here as I think it is fantastic to live so close to a big stadium and have access to huge music events.
