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

Excellent area to live in with lots of great local amenities. Nice range of local and national shops, along with superb pubs, restaurants and cafes and a lovely regular market. There is a number of pleasant parks and walking routes. Excellent parking facilities with a number of free spaces available for short stays. Regular trains are very handy - the only downside is the level crossing through the centre of town which can sometimes cause delays when travelling by car. Living on our street we have no issues with parking availability or traffic noise and bin collections are always prompt.

The only thing I wish I'd known before moving in is the limited availability of broadband providers. In an attempt to be organised, before moving in I contacted Sky to arrange set up to then find out the service was unavailable to us.

It's still very noisy due to all of the construction vehicles. Area is good with shops nearby. They could definitely add another green space.

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

I find the quality of the house in general not very positive. We have a lot of tiny things that need to be repaired. The can use a little higher quality things in the house - bathtub, shower, paint. Some bits look cheaply done - skirting boards are going yellow and we have not even been in the house for a year. Even though we take good care of our property it just looks really warn after just 10 months on the house and that is because of the low quality of materials they use to build it.

What is the best feature of your home:

We love the size of our kitchen/dining room. We also enjoy our back garden.
