    Avoid if you're on a budget

    Stav R (Tenant)

    Verified Resident

    Brook Place, S11

    Jul 2024

    The building is very modern, and perhaps the best private accommodation in Sheffield in terms of furniture, facililities and layout. I will be dividing this into the good and the bad: The good: The receptionists are all lovely and always willing to help, they greet you whenever you walk in or out, and after 8 you get a security guard who stays until midnight-ish. There's two lifts on the reception side and another lift on the side door by the gym. The gym is good. It's included in the rent and is rarely busy to the point where its crowded. Good choice of equipment etc. The lounge/ WFH area is good as well, they provide free coffee and syrups which is great if you've ran out of coffee and really need one for free. There's also a gaming room and a professional kitchen both of which you can book for free. The furniture in the flats are good, the sofa was very comfortable and the appliances are modern and reliable. The bathrooms are lovely and the mattresses in the bedrooms are comfortable. Now the bad: As with every high end luxury accommodation, the moving out process is a nightmare. It's very stressful in terms of cleaning and making sure everything is spotless if you want to get your deposit back. They suggest having it professionally cleaned even though according to Citizens advise they can't force you to do so, and they are very very detailed in the check out report about every single thing in the apartment. There have also been incidents of our neighbors smoking cigarettes and the scent lingering in the corridor, and even after we reported it nothing was done. Overall its a great property but if you're on a budget, look somewhere else.

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

    The property is only a short walk from Ecclesall Road, with loads of shops, cafes and restaurants. You get a range of grocery stores in all budget ranges, with Aldi and Waitrose on one end, and M&S and Tescos on the other. The building sits next to Porter Brook and the Cemetery, which is lovely for a walk in the afternoon, as well as the Botanical Gardens only 7 minutes up the road. Transportation wise, its okay. Ecclesall Road is notorious for its unreliable traffic and busyness however the property sits at the very start towards the city so it's not affected much. Summerfield street however is a nightmare, especially during rush hour as you get cars coming from all sides, and the crossroad doesn't help at all. There have been quite a few times where we would hear screaming and police cars down the street, and we often got people pointing at our window with a laser beam. Parking is also a nightmare during rush hour and the covered private parking pricing is extortionate London prices which makes no sense. The bin rooms are quite big so there's always space and the bin collections seem to have been very organized. Traffic noise wise, the double windows help a lot and we rarely had issues with noise coming from outside.

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

    Whenever we had issues with any appliances they responded promptly.

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

    The fact that its electricity only as well as a new built doesn't make it cheaper for energy bills and such

    The inside of the flat is absolutely gorgeous

    H Peter (Tenant)

    Verified Resident

    Tribe Apartments, M4

    Jul 2024

    The inside of the flat is absolutely gorgeous, let’s in a lot of light during the day. The decor and fixtures all to a really high standard. Always clean. There is only one lift, which could become frustrating when it was out of service. The scaffolding around the building had been up for some time which can be annoying. Building is nice and secure and the building facilities manager is great, always happy to lend a hand

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

    Location of the flat was perfect for myself as I work in the city centre, and which is only a 15 minute walk away. The surrounding areas did have some unsociable behaviour, but the building itself is very secure. Aldi is a short 5 minute walk, so perfect for the weekly shop

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

    Always quick to respond and have someone come to the flat within 48 hours, quicker if the issue was an emergency

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

    Would have been good to know how long the scaffolding would be up for

    Amazing Development

    Punit Surana (Tenant)

    Verified Resident

    Abbeville Apartments, IG11

    Jul 2024

    Flats are decent size and apt for couples . The internal furnishing is of decent quality too. The overall development is quite fresh and airy as compared to some of the other blocks in this area. Added bonuses are gym, cycle storage and the communal space

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

    Amazing location if you work in Canary Wharf or in the city. Local markets and proximity to shops are an added bonus

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

    Always responded timely to any maintenance issues we had

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

    At times the area in general is quite crowded and wish we knew that

    A lovely apartment

    Eve (Tenant)

    Verified Resident

    Enigma Square, MK9

    Jul 2024

    Lovely apartment with nice furniture and utilities. Staff are helpful and put on nice events. Bathrooms are spacious and modern- although a hand towel rail would be nice. The apartment could do with air conditioning however as the air flow is difficult with window restrictions

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

    Great location with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. Expensive parking outside but relatively safe albeit slightly loud at night some evenings.

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

    Yes they are prompt. We had a few issues and most were handled quickly

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

    Always keep the flat clean and tidy as it gets dusty easier. It also gets very hot in the summer as the windows don’t fully open

    Going downhill

    JS (Tenant)

    Verified Resident

    Berewood, PO7

    Jul 2024

    Some houses are nicely designed. However people are on top on each other due to cramming in as many houses as possible. There is no infrastructure to support the increase in housing. We have one primary school with another one due 2025 but where are the doctors? Dentists? Shops?

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

    We are losing more & more open space as it's being bought by developers. Definitely wasn't on the initial plans. The estate itself has no facilities bar 1 primary school. Traffic from the one school is increasing, this is mainly due to people being allocated school places when they do not live on the estate. Anti social behaviour is also increasing

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

    Fairly quick response to issues but have been messed about in the past with days/times of engineers attending

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

    The plans for more and more building without the infrastructure to support it
