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

No happy with everything so far, will see how it goes

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

It’s been very difficult to begin with, we have moved in too soon, our front drive is being dug up at 8am in the morning drilling shudders through the whole house it’s a nightmare, the next door incomplete house makes it really difficult to take the bins out. There are no dog walks, all green areas are restricted areas for site work so there’s not a patch of grass to throw a ball and due to how much litter, glass, cigarette are on the development it’s not safe for me to walk my dog here, so have to drive 15 mins away. There is antisocial behaviour at the front of the estate, car issues, car crashes into the fence, people hanging out of windows in the flats shouting. This estate is a really difficult place to live currently but praying for things to get done quickly.

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

They still have so much work to do they just say the quicker they get it done they will be out of pour way but the digging up our front drive and drilling into the ground every morning makes me on edge every morning. There is no clarity on timelines for where there will be a green space or even a tidy estate for a dog walk.

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

How far behind the development is and that the builders were going to need to dig up our drive and road + communication on time frames for things being done like green areas/parks

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.

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

I really enjoy living in the area. There are plenty of shops, restaurants and open spaces nearby, with good transport links and wide roads. Parking is also very good, and the area is generally clean, quiet and convenient for everyday living.

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

The building management team has been helpful and responsive whenever I have raised any problems or issues, and they have dealt with them professionally.

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

One thing I wish I had known is how useful the resident events and community activities are. They’re a great way to meet neighbours and get to know the Lloyds Living team, so I’d definitely recommend getting involved.

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

The local park/nature reserve is a great feature especially as it is within walking distance. Local access to the shops is also great and the quality of the estate is excellence. The only issue I have is that there is alot of speeding drivers/motorbikes that go up and down the road. Especially as we have kids who play out on the street so safety could be better.

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

Fix flow app is really simple and easy to use. Lloyds are very responsive and flexible around starting the work around the tenants.

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

I would have liked to know the sort of schemes that Lloyds offer. When trying to ask Lomond before the change over we didn't get much of a response. However, after the customer event Shivani from Lloyds was really helpful in all different schemes available.
