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

The building’s location near Cardiff Central Station is extremely convenient, especially when returning from a trip, as it’s just steps away and requires no additional transportation. There is a great variety of shops, restaurants, coffee shops, and it’s close to the stadium and the shopping mall, which makes daily life very convenient. Being in the city centre means the streets are busy, but I personally enjoy the lively atmosphere as it makes the area feel vibrant and generally safe to walk around. Since it’s near several bars, there can occasionally be some anti-social behaviour, but I’ve found that it is usually resolved quickly by the police. Traffic noise is manageable during the day, though it can sometimes be noticeable in the summer when windows are open for ventilation.

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

Building management has been very responsive and efficient. Whenever I’ve raised an issue, the team has acknowledged it quickly and arranged for maintenance where needed. The staff are friendly, approachable, and proactive in resolving problems.

I wish I had known how warm the apartment can get in the summer, especially with a sun-facing unit and no air conditioning. It would have been helpful to prepare cooling solutions in advance. Aside from that, living here has been a great experience.

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

The local area is very pleasant and convenient. There is a good range of shops, supermarkets, cafés and restaurants within walking distance, as well as green spaces nearby which are great for relaxing or exercising. Public transport links are reliable and make commuting easy. The street itself is generally quiet, with minimal traffic noise and no issues with anti-social behaviour. Parking is manageable and bin collections are regular and well organised.

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

Building management has generally been responsive and helpful whenever I have raised any concerns. Communication has been clear, and they have taken issues seriously. There is currently a minor washing machine F1 error being looked into, but aside from that, the response and support have been good.

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

I would say it’s useful to familiarise yourself with the appliances and building systems early on. Everything works well overall, but understanding how things operate from the start makes settling in even smoother. Apart from that, the move-in experience was positive and straightforward.

When we moved in during July 2025 the restaurants and shops were good and varied but since a lot have closed and not been replaced, a lot of very loud cars driving around all night have led to poor sleep and the loading bays have been hard to access for unloading into the flat due to people parking in them all night

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

Concierge has been good, maintenance has been good but everything else has been a little poor

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

The noise in the area, the full extent of the development and timescale,

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

Everything has closed around the square since we moved in so it’s not great. Traffic noise is awful and nothing is done about the fast drivers around the streets.

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

Everything has been fixed really fast and without and issue

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

I wish I’d known how little value for money it is to live here. Very expensive for a whole lot of nothing.

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

-Very prominent transport links with main axis bus stops in 3/4 cardinal directions within a 4-7 minute walk! (Extremely convenient) The only downside is the reliability of the First Bus network with this morning alone a late bus and 2 cancelled busses following. This is a consistent issue. -Local pubs in proximity to the accommodation with the closest one facing it on the opposite side of the main road. -gate-protected car park which is a huge advantage, especially in Bath where it is rare. -food shops on the main road and a 5-10 minute walk include Tesco express, Lidl, Marks and Spencer’s and Sainsbury’s which allows a huge range at the resident’s discretion. -bin collection in the residence is as easy as anything with a bin storage. - windows are glazed so absolutely no disturbance from the main road, no nuisance from that aspect. -i have not been the object or observer to any anti-social behaviour which is a huge plus.

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

Have had very little issue. One issue relating to piping was resolved within 24h as contractors were brought on site within hours of knowing. Very swift and mostly always updating the residents when there was an evolution on the situation, more than satisfied with problem-management here on the property.

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

This question is unrelated to the property or its management but relates to energy bills. From the day your tenancy starts, even if you have not moved in yet, you are liable to pay for energy consumption through the previously contracted company by your predecessor tenant. This is at the fares and prices, without your inherent knowledge, of the previous contract which you have not to do with.
