Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Lovely modern homes that are light, airy and spacious. Everything needed for a comfortable home is provided in terms of appliances, energy efficiency and broadband. Very happy

Very responsive, with a dedicated property manager who resolves things promptly. Conor and Ben whom Arrange everything prior to tenancy are superb too

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Even though the area is quite built up, the actual plot is very quiet and peaceful. There is a shop, park and a coffee shop within a 15 minute walk however if there was something a little closer it would be more convenient. Parking is limited, however transport links are very good.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Excellent customer service from both Megan and Robbie, both offered prompt responses to calls and emails and went above and beyond to answer my questions and help when I had some problems. For Megan and Robbie I would give them both 10/10 stars if I could.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
We are still expecting to move in, so cannot offer much advice yet

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The area is nice as it's all new and clean. The only thing that would be good to add is some shops close by.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes, I needed help with the wifi when I moved in and the building management was on the phone to me helping straight away and it was sorted within an hour.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Really good area, all the doors are opened via bluetooth so you can't get locked out.
Manager response

It’s great to know the team were able to support you quickly, and I’ll be sure to pass your kind comments on to Ben and Conor. We hope you continue to enjoy living at the development.
