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.
