Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Decent location though the college kids screaming and shouting is annoying. Heat can be unbearable in summer.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Kit came to help assist with a hot water problem and was very quick and efficient. 5 stars for him!
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
As mentioned above may want to consider heat during summer

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
It's very quiet, plenty of shops 5 min walk away, close to the city centre but the views are amazing, the estate is kept very clean and tidy
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
I haven't had any problems up to now apart from when I paid the rent upfront the money stayed in my bank but I called and sorted it out straight away
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The windows are strange sizes and I had to order made to measure blinds as the shops don't sell the size needed so I did have to wait 3 weeks for those to arrive but not a major problem really

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Well-connected to the city centre, Uni of Sheffield and West St. There is off-road parking available and a secure bin. It isn't very loud and there isn't much traffic on gell st. Springfield Primary school and gell st. park is nearby.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They have been responsive, though the time taken to deal with an issue depends upon the nature of the issue.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
There can be some rough sleepers around the area; hence, lock your car properly at night.

Conveniently located and well-managed apartment

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The property is very close to West Street and Division Street and is in a very lively location. Springfield School and Gell Street Park are right behind the property. The University of Sheffield is just up the road.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
When the fridge broke down and the ceiling had a wet patch, they tended to it relatively promptly.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The heat retention in the apartment is quite poor.
