Would never buy with St Modwen again
Location is good, 10min walk to nearest train station and shopping centre very nearby as well.
Bin collection has been very temperamental and we have been left with overflowing bins for weeks at times.
Parking availability is poor as there are no visitor parking spaces at all on the development
Please review your development:
The external design of the development appears to be great, very modern looking and great curb appeal. However that is where my positive feedback ends.
Building and property management has been diabolical, we have been left with damp walls, damp ceilings, water leakage through the ceilings and window seals. This was first reported when we first moved in almost a year ago and has still not been rectified by St Modwen. My messages are ignored every week, I have taken days off work for these to be repaired and nobody turns up to fix these issues. The design of the balcony drainage is awful, this is causing the leaking water in our apartment, we were told this would be investigated 2 months ago and still nothing has been done.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I had known about all of the issues that we would have experienced in the apartment and the poor customer service that myself and all the other residents have received.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The response has been awful. We had a list of over 20 issues with our apartment when we first moved in as is it was simply not liveable. Small issues were fixed straight away but almost a year later we have had no resolve to the major issues with our flat such as leakages and damp. My messages are either ignored, or days are promised for works to be carried out with no one turning up. I first complained about the damp in November 2020 – still not resolved. I have since complained about 2 more leakages since then back in June 2021, still no resolution once again.
