Cording Residential

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

There are many highlights to this property. The location is not only scenic but also very convenient, being situated in the centre of town with easy access to local shops, restaurants, and transport links. The area feels well-connected and practical for day-to-day living. Overall, it’s a comfortable and well-located property, ideal for families or anyone looking for a balance of convenience and a pleasant living environment. The only drawback i felt was the washroom's should be provided with a small window or exhaust.

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

In summers, the apartment are energy efficient but tends to get quite warm needing cross ventilation.

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

The good: The area and views from some flats are extraordinary. Very good location: in the city centre, but far from traffic. Very handy reception that handles your packets. Night concierge. Timely repairs. Downsides: Certain rooms can get very hot during summer. Heating can be very pricey specially for two-bedrooms. Some car alarms go off during the night and that can be a nuisance. Flat design could be upgraded. Not many common areas. Not the best insulation for sound and change in temperatures. If you live near a lift, you will hear it. For some this may be white noise, for others, it may get annoying. If you get noisy neighbours, you will hear them.

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

The building management were great, always kind and ready to help.

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

In some buildings you only have one lift. If the lift breaks, you can use the lifts of other buildings up to 8 floor and then walk the rest of the stairs in your building. The building uses falconry for pest control and has it own beehive and honey.

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

Great for being close to the train station, with very small noise traffic from the station. Parking is unsafe. People park all around the street as there’s not enough spaces and they cost nearly £100 a month! People drive in the barriers behind others, block spaces which isn’t helpful. All roads are permit, so impossible to have visitors without them having to pay for parking. Bins are always left out and rubbish is everywhere. For a place that’s pet friendly, it’s a hazard…

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

Responded quickly, never had any issues. I only needed the filters changing on the air system so can’t comment on any major issues

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

The hassle, the lack of cleanliness around the apartments and broken stairs/lift constantly. I wouldn’t recommend if you have a dog, especially if they tend to pick things up. Could end up being an expensive vet bill on top of a high rent

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

The student blocks can be noisy at times especially in the middle of the night. We have contacted police but not much can be done. Blocks facing the canal will be much quieter.

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

Noise, lift, water supply ... I can't remember now.

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

I wish I knew about the noise from the student blocks.

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

Fantastic location, perfectly located for shops, transport links by train and bus, and a short walk into the town centre. This does mean parking and traffic around the estate can be difficult. Generally a quiet area but it is the main throughfare from the station to town so can get a couple of rowdy people walking by on a weekend night.

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

Repairs always dealt with swiftly; there is a good process for raising issues

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

The walls chip/mark very easily Nothing else i can think of
