Citu Homes

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

Beautiful location as the site sits along the canal. Great connections to the centre, walking distance to many shops, restaurants and train station.

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

The community of residents is amazing, extremely warm and welcoming.

What is the best feature of your home:

Air tight passive house standard home with MVHR (Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery). This means the house is super cozy with barely any heating needed, resulting in very low energy bills.

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

Very convenient for city centre. Needs more grocery shops. Transport links are very good. Parking can be tricky.

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

The building management will respond but they do need reminding some times

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

Very Happy to live here, Kelham Island is a vibrant place to be.

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

Great food and bars, great location. Citu not the best.

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

Took a long time to fix problems that should have been fixed before hanging over the property.

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

That it was not completely finished.

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

Excellent variety of bars and restaurants. Good accessibility to the city centre and motorway for transport. Relatively little traffic noise. Difficult to get parking.

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

Varied response. Some issues were resolved quickly and some are still ongoing 3 years later

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

Poor on street parking, would highly recommend purchasing a property with a parking space

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

Location is walking distance to city centre where one can find several shops, restaurants and bars. As the overall site is still relatively new and work in progress, access and external visibility (eg. to taxi drivers and delivery drivers) is poor but should improve as the construction work clears in the coming months. The finished streets where the houses are on are beautiful, safe and landscaped with a variety of plants and vegetables.

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

Management has been slow to acknowledge issues and take necessary actions. It is evident that their processes are being improved on, it just takes time.

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

The neighbourhood and neighbours have been a lot friendlier and helpful than we expected. The landscaping is great and it is a safe community to live in.
