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

A very convenient location, only a short walk from Guildford train station and a 10-minute walk to the High Street. Situated in a central location yet on a peaceful street, it’s an ideal choice for regular train users and perfect for hosting family and friends visiting from abroad, as London is easily accessible.

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

The management usually respond via email to schedule a time to send someone to have a look and fix the issue.

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

Reception that receives orders during normal working hours, and very helpful staff.

Good: - Cool local bars and ample food places - Several parks nearby - A Lime bike ride away from Central and the City - I’ve lived in a few parts of London and this was the most enjoyable and convenient. Bad; - Local Tesco closes randomly for periods of time - Overground is good but can shut on weekends so check ahead. One time it closed unannounced leaving a lot of people stranded. - Can be noisy. We did have to call the police once about a party in one of the rented commercial parts of the building that just seemed to get louder as the early morning hours hit. Also you get the random screaming in the street but unfortunately that’s a theme for most town centres nowadays. We also did get a random mini anti-Israel protest on a megaphone at 8:30pm on a Tuesday night singing bella ciao (badly) … that was annoying. I think people forget that others do actually live in the buildings around this area. - Parking cost an extra £125 a month on top of rent which felt extortionate considering people would often leave dog poo in the car park and we did get locked in on Christmas Eve night as we tried to leave for Christmas with half the Christmas Day dinner in our car! 3 hours later, after Grainger’s out of hours line lied (they hadn’t raised a ticket) and clocked off mid-call at 5pm (so much for an out of hours line) the guy had thankfully given me the number for the gate maintenance company so one of their engineers walked me through manually opening the gate.

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

HAHA. Good joke. “Building management responded”. Yes, no, they don’t respond.

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

I honestly enjoyed the lifestyle there in that part of town and our flat but everything else was stressful and the rent and parking was extortionate.

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

Great location in Southampton central areal and great facilities like delivery lockers, gym and seasonal events. Bad aspects are paid parking in the building, traffic noise, anti-social behaviour area, limited equipment in the gym, staff not aways helpful. The rental price always goes up much over the average price for the region.

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

Overall is good. But tends to “forget” our requests or having to chase again. “Lost packages” is a constant issue and the staff are not really willing to help. Packages can go missing for days or weeks.

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

I wish to know that the average yearly rental increase would be way above the regional average.

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

The area is very convenient being in the centre of the city with plenty of shops and restaurants about, however, the estate the build is next to is quite rough and can feel unsafe at times due to police often visiting the building.

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

They have responded quickly and fixed any problems I have had.

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

I wish I had known how much additional parking would cost as this is a big added expense
