A guide to living in Wiltshire

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

The area is in a ideal spot it’s tucked away on the pit skirts of Swindon so you miss the noise and traffic of the town centre but on the other hand you’re 5-10 minutes from a supermarket & retail park. Parking is good two spaces of car & work van.

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

We have reported the issues we’ve encountered awaiting response but we have only just moved in so appreciate these things can take a little time.

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

I would advise when viewing any property pay real attention to the details and quality of work as we have picked up on some really poor workmanship (fencing) (dishwasher) cannot open fully as it catches the unit handle. But these things are cosmetic and can/will be resolved.

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

Good parking in the development, lack of small shops close by but nice pubs and farm shop, very quiet

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

Have raised issues but can’t comment on response time as of yet because only raised recently

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

How easy the whole process was, application and all

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

Location is great, only a couple miles from the town centre, and the main supermarkets, with good transport links.

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

They have been great in raising the issue with our turf with Vistry, however there seems to be a hold up on Vistrys side.

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

I wish I’d have known that the properties address wouldn’t have been registered on most databases, however that was just a lack of judgement on my part.

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

There is good range of shops and amenities real close to the site, with the city centre being a 5 minute drive. The first thing I noticed about the property was how quiet the traffic is inside the property.

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

I’ve had no issues with the property so cannot fault anything.

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

Every question I had was answered in a timely manner and very efficiently

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

Only a 10 minute drive from town, lots of baby groups locally too. A really lovely area, lots of green space for dog walks :)

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

The site developers unfortunately did a horrendous job with our back lawn, leaf living were very quick to respond and get to work rectifying.

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

I didn’t realise our address wouldn’t be recognised everywhere, a lack of insight on my own behalf
