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

Very good access to the Bay and the city centre, but the Depot can be loud on weekends. There isn't much public transport, but being so close to the city centre makes it easy enough to get to the bus interchange.

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

Building management have responded pretty much instantly to any issues I've raised

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

I'd have liked an explanation on how the council tax/electricity/water system worked. the Tili link sent in the email didn't recognise the flat.

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

I love that there’s a grocery store just downstairs, a gym right opposite, coffee shops , hair saloons and that the high street is just 5 minutes walk away from me. I don’t really care about bars and I don’t like to eat out but I have been able to order almost anything I like on uber with delivery less than 20 minutes so that’s awesome. The Elizabeth line train is just 6 minutes walk which I love . Really a huge plus to living here . It’s quiet and clean on the street. I love it. The apartment provides parking which requires you pay for it separately.. I wish that wasn’t so.. there’s no traffic noise… asides the sound of the train passing which I only hear when my window is open… so that’s good. I do wish there was a way to dispose the bin without having to walk downstairs lol.

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

All issues I’ve raised have been addressed especially with the new management. It’s great that there is an App which you can put in a request on and the management will immediately dispatch someone to handle it. Whether it is a service person or they themselves. Your issue gets sorted and there’s usually an immediate response letting you know it’s being handled . I have no issues with management at all. Also I’m pretty easy going I hardly have a reason to contact management so I’m good.

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

The building’s insulation is good because you don’t hear the noise from the trains and it retains heat but I am still super cold during winter. I don’t particularly like how the heating works… I get cold eaisly tho so I wouldn’t know if it’s a me problem but I advise buying a portable heater if you run cold like me… Neigbours are private and mind their business. If that’s you then you will love living here… the storage isn’t great so if you’re have a lot of stuff go for at least a 2 bedroom…
