Sience living here it's been alright. Electric gates to the back car park in operation with fob. Close to bus stop, Lidl around the corner. Not traffic noise , very quiet at night. Nice neighbours. The developer got company who is carry about plant and cutting grass around the estate every two weeks for free during the summer time. Unfronetely we don't have open space for kids or any playground for them around here.

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

Unfronteley we were told that the parking outside the steets will be for everyone with the residential car park permit( roughly £40 a year), unfornetely council changed the plan and this parkings are only issued for people with blue badge which I don't really understand.

What is the best feature of your home:

It's cheap during the winter time . I have my thermostat set to 23 degrees all the time and the bills is not more as £180 for gas and electricity . Family 2+2. During the summer it comes down for maximum £90 with octopus.

Being my first time living properly on my own, I have everything I need in a short walks distance. Which I don't even have to tell you is pretty great especially being someone who struggles with walking! The only problems in this aspect come from being quite near the centre of Hanley and aren't at all the fault of the building. Friday and Saturday nights mean my windows have to be sealed closed because of club-goer noises and also weed smell.

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

Very quickly and problems seemed to be fixed on a promise of ASAP.

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

As a cat owner, beware of the windows. And I would suggest only open the one in the bedroom and then only slightly, especially if you have a brainless fur baby such as mine. The sliding door window seems to be sort of a cat death trap.
