    Great place to live. A mixture of houses and is managed very well. Houses are of a good size and kitchen and bathrooms of a good quality. Gardens and open land are maturing and managed to a high standard. Beautiful place to live with a family or for retirement.

    Cranleigh has a good selection of shops and in walking distance. The nearest railway line is Godalming.

    Stunning Willowbrook

    Judith Craig (Owner)

    Verified Resident

    Willowbrook, GU6

    May 2024

    The open land here is quite stunning and is worked tirelessly by several of the residents in particular in their own time. This is done so the rest of the residents do not incur higher management fees. The houses are well built and are well planned. The management company we have now are extremely proactive and are keen to help wherever they can. Any issues you have they deal with quickly and simply.

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

    Cranleigh is a lovely place to live - the village is very welcoming and has a wide range of restaurants, coffee shops and cafes. Although there is no train station Guildford is not too far and local buses run regularly. This estate is one of the few that has more than adequate parking for each house and Waverley council provide weekly bin collections. Road noise is minimal.

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

    Everyone here is very friendly and open and anyone coming to Willowbrook would get a well built house with a stunning view

    What is the best feature of your home:

    The views of the open land and the local area. Also the lightness of the house.

    Buyer beware

    Do not buy here, the Managing Agent for the estate is awful Clarion Housing is worse, and the residents in the biggest houses have the worst attitudes. You cannot enjoy the beautiful green area without being harassed by the self imposed estate warden(s). To look at the estate is beautiful, to live in it's more stressful than London.

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

    Cranleigh as an area is great, the wider community is lovely and lots of great facilities. Easy access to Guildford if you drive but very limited public transport.

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

    I wish I had known how petty the board of directors were going to be! I've lived here before the houses were all finished and it's got worse and worse since the big money buyers have moved in.

    What is the best feature of your home:

    Dimensions, the gardens aren't as overlooked as some new build developments and the houses have different aesthetics from the road.

    Expensive, unsafe and not worth it

    Former residents (Tenant)

    Courtyard Apartments at Circus St, BN2

    Mar 2024

    Initially the building looks attractive. We are from Canada and used to spacious modern buildings and had difficultly finding this in the UK. This building is as close as you can get in Brighton. However as a pls e to reside for such a horrendously high price, it’s poorly planned. Negatives: 1) The building materials are poor and the brand new counter tops already have chips, the floor boards (veneer) are chipped, bathroom ceiling leaks and stinks of mould. Neighbours across the hall had their roof cave in from a roof leak. Neighbours down stairs have a huge water leak down their wall and water pouring out the light socket. Trying to get any of these issues fixed takes a long time, and their answer to fixing the problem wasn’t to fix the roof mean, it was just to paint over it. Which you can see they’ve done previously also by the paint marks in the ceiling. 2) the noise is atrocious. And it is ALL day and ALL night. The student building Kaplan is adjacent to our balcony and you hear students coming and going and partying in the courtyard, breaking bottles, blasting speakers, kicking balls, generally yelling and screaming. I complained to their security and I was threatened as their security is very very rough and uncouth. 3) the outside entrance/exit doors of building C didn’t lock after exit meaning anyone could get in. This resulted in parcels being stolen from the lobby and needles being left in the stairwell. I also found a homeless man sitting in the stairwell by my apartment door! I was told to get a police report, I did. And Savills never followed up. I was ignored completely, no investigation, never compensated for my stolen parcels, the exit door never fixed and nothing ever done. It got to the point where I was scared to leave my apartment in case there was a drug addict sitting outside. 4) the dance studios next door, although a lovely bonus if you use them, they installed a new night club level sound system. This is mere metres away from building C and the bass rattles our windows/doors and balcony. It blasts from The morning until 9pm at night. Additionally they’ve now started having rooftop parties that go until 5am. 5) the heating bills and electricity bills are insane. We have the 1 bedroom top floor and received bills for £500 a month! Upon investigation from meeting with other tenants we found out the apartments are miss-mapped and often one apartment can be paying the power for two apartments! In addition to this the heating bill is separate from other electricity which is another £230 on top! Additionally if you want a parking spot it’s another £200 per month. The costs are horrendous for such a loud, scary and potentially dangerous place to live. 6) the facilities - the gym and common room - the gym is fairly well equipped but need a proper cable machine. The tv in the gym is always set to a certain station so you can never play your own shows or music on it. The gym is often used by large groups of students just messing around rather than the professionals that live in the building. The common area (residents lounge) we never got to use as it’s always full of students having pre drinks in the evenings and laying across the sofas. The noise from them is unbearable. So much for a peaceful work space. 7) for the price you pay inclusive of bills it works out to close to £3000 per month. We used to pay this to live in zone 1 n central London in a lovely area. This price is horrendous for Brighton to live in an unsafe area where I’m scared to leave my apartment most days. 8) the green area took months to open and is just a mud bath in winter. It’s also not private. Anyone can access it and it’s filled with drunk students puking, drinking and harassing residents or homeless people. 9) there’s supposedly 24/7 security. There’s absolutely not. The amount of times I went to go report some anti social behaviour around the building and no one was there

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

    Centrally located in Brighton, and although the London Road area and The Level have been gentrified it’s still full of drug addicts and anti social behaviour. Very scary as a love woman out at night to walk the dog. Even my partner has been grabbed by a drug addict.

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

    We should’ve been told about the cost of utilities, how u safe the area is and how awfully loud the building is. Im pretty sure it’s illegal not to disclose that just metres away from the building to the left and the right there’s half-way houses for addicts all around the building and horrendous amounts of noise.

    What is the best feature of your home:

    Modern interior design, lovely view, huge windows which are amazing in Summer and let in so much light. Friendly on-site staff Kerri and Claudio
