LIVINGWAY

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

Right in the town centre - good transport links with the station being under 10 mins away. Sometimes can hear the local pubs going off on Fri/Sat/during main football games but not too disruptive.

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

Yes, they replied very quickly and would get it sorted. The marks on the wall when I left did cost me £50 so the place is a little expensive but worth it.

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

How expensive the maintenance of the apartment would be - with council tax, gas is also extremely expensive so would suggest checking different providers.

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

The gate sometimes is not locked and left opened. Management is ok but they charge you a fortune in rubbish fee and repainting when you move out.

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

Slow response and sometimes not properly managed here.

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

Huge moving out fee and it may cost you more when you move out.

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

The area is amazing in terms of convenience for shopping, transport and sightseeing. We are just a five-minute walk away from most main attractions in the city, shopping centres, restaurants and bus/rail stations. Being a busy part of town, it can get a bit rowdy at night, and the surrounding area might get a bit dirty from people littering. At the moment there is construction so it gets quite noisy. Hopefully it won't last long.

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

There have been some issues regarding the building alarms that need improvement in the time frame of handling these issues, and also it took quite a while for us to get access to our mailbox, since the key wasn't working. I feel the processes need revising and response times need improvement.

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

I wish I had known there was going to be a construction site right next door, with tons of noise.

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

The good things, the location is excellent. The staff is very good, they are very attentive, although sometimes the response time is not adequate. The size of the apartment, studio, how the layout of the areas. It is incredible how everything is included, furniture, internet, water and amenities such as the gym, terrace, jacuzzi, rooms and kitchens to receive guests. We have compared and it is practically the same cost to live in a distant place, but cheaper, than in this place, comparing the expenses that we would not make in more distant places such as paying for transportation, invest in furnishing, pay a monthly fee for the gym to give an example. In conclusion, it has more benefits than disadvantages, it is a very nice place with a very good location, close to many restaurants and shops.

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

In our case we have had long waiting times in one aspect, we did not have a mailbox for almost 5 months, because they did not change a mailbox key that did not work. At first they had to change a part of the heater and it took about two weeks to repair it, but we never stopped having hot water. And for the rest of the requests we have had, the response has been quick. But the most What is important is that the attention of all the staff is very gentle, professional and they are very friendly.

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

That we would not have a window with sunlight coming in. And sometimes from the bar behind the building you can hear noise from the bar.

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

There’s such a variety of entertainment in the surrounding area, there’s something for everyone. Across the street is a train station and a bus stop right outside my door making travel and commuting to work easier.

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

My issue was resolved quickly and efficiently, within a matter of days.

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

I wish i’d have known about the apartment building sooner as i didn’t know it existed until it was recommended by a friend.
