A guide to living in Warwickshire

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

Good location for shops, schools and nearby parks. A quiet neighbourhood with lovely views due to plot being on a hill. Parking can cause some disruption aswell as turning in and out of the street due to how narrow the roads are, especially when there is more than 1 vehicle.

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

Raised an issue about a guttering pipe which was resolved promptly, information was given instantly over resolving the fault by lloyds and repair was carried out very quickly. An issue was raised about the back garden upon moving in to builders on site but wasn’t followed through.

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

Due to the property being empty for some time after finishing the build, we did need to lay new grass. We ended up providing new grass ourselves to keep the property in tact. The issue was raised with builders on site and issue was photographed and logged but nothing came of anything after waiting a while.

We’ve really enjoyed living in Houlton /Allsop. The development has a lovely feel, with green spaces and a welcoming neighbourhood that makes it feel like home.

Very prompt always ! Especially since Lynn has started - she’s really changed the experience, slightly bumpy before that.

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

Nothing really - just so peaceful and amazing. Cannot think of any faults really !

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

Rugby has a good range of shops, restaurants, pubs and everyday amenities, with the town centre and Rugby Gateway providing plenty of choice. There are also several parks and open spaces nearby. Transport links are a major benefit, particularly Rugby railway station, with good road connections via the M1, M6 and M45. Traffic can be busy at peak times, but overall the area is convenient and well connected.

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

They have been quick to respond to our issues and have sorted them in a timely manner.

I’d recommend checking the small practical details during the viewing, such as storage, parking arrangements, garden space and how the house is positioned. The development is generally quiet and convenient, but these are things that can be difficult to judge from a short viewing.

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

Good aspect is the excellent location , the lovely neighborhood and good design . It’s green and wonderful for going on walks. Nothing negative

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

Efficient in reaching out but service needs to be faster.

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

It’s a good community to move into. And a great place to consider buying property

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

Overall, we really enjoy living in the local area. There are some good local shops and restaurants, and the streets are generally very clean and well maintained, with very little rubbish around. The neighbours are respectful and considerate, which makes it a pleasant place to live. There are plenty of nice open spaces and things to do with the family, as well as plenty of opportunities for taking the dogs out for walks. We also find the area to be very peaceful, with no noticeable traffic noise or anti-social behaviour, and overall it feels like a very safe and pleasant place to live. The main downside is that there isn’t a large local supermarket, so for a bigger food shop we have to travel into Rugby, which can be inconvenient at times. Other than that, we have found the area to be a very nice place to live.

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

The building management has always responded quickly and professionally to any problems or issues we have raised. They are approachable, helpful and take concerns seriously, with maintenance requests generally dealt with within 24 hours of being reported. Whenever contractors attend the property, they are respectful and considerate. They take their shoes off before entering, carry out the work efficiently and always leave the house clean and tidy once the work has been completed. Overall, we have been very impressed with the level of service and care provided.

One thing I wish I had known before moving in was that the property would already have electric car charging points installed and ready to use, which has been a great feature and very convenient. The one thing I would have liked to have known, or seen included, is an outdoor electrical socket. Having an external plug would be really useful for things such as garden equipment, cleaning the car or other outdoor jobs.
