The range of shops under the flat services such as post office optitian pharmacy library town centre markers events and Asda. Bus transport walking distance and team station not so far.. Not many restaurants nearby only cafes. Free parking on Sundays at the story car park for visitors. Good amount of GP practices. Bin collections are good and clean, I hardly see litter in the town centre. There's a lot if anti social behaviour during the night and going past the Hatfield club for members only expect a racist comment here and there when you go past.

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

BAD monthly cost of the Nilan unit and not having control of how much electricity’s used due to this. It was promoted so well but not worth it as a single person it’s very costly having a nilan unit. The shower head cannot come off as it’s attached to the tap, so it’s tricky to clean the tub takes a very long time need to get water in a kettle to clean as the shower head cannot reach half the tub. The amount of moss that grows on the balcony walls. GOOD Local shopping centre walking distance has beauty salons there restaurants cinema and outlet stores. Train station waking distance.

What is the best feature of your home:

The electric items such as the oven, hob, dishwasher, fridge is massive compared to normal homes I’ve viewed also Iv noticed my food items stay fresher for longer in the fridge at my home compared to others.

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

I would have liked to have known that there were no local supermarkets

What is the best feature of your home:

The best feature of my home is how spacious the house is

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

There isn't any range on the development so not great. The access to the local country park is over grown and anti social behaviour is now creeping in due to the underpass being opened creating a thoroughfare

Wish I had employed a professional snagger as still finding poor workman quality, and annoying niggles

Im pretty disappointed with both the build quality of my new house and the area itself. The local shops, restaurants, and bars are a mixed bag, and the open spaces are okay but nothing special. Transport links are convenient, but the traffic can be a nightmare. Parking on my street is an issue due to the tight road network, bin collections are inconvenient with bin collection points placed in strange locations and the bin men collect them from it however never return the bins and simply leave them on the main road so it’s pointless. Further to this there is more anti-social behavior and traffic noise than I expected. It is definitely not the dream new build experience I was hoping for in Donnington.

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

I would have researched the local area more, due to lack of facilities nearby by foot. Most shops and restaurants require driving, and most annoying for Wild Walk private tenants is that there is no right turn at the traffic light junction on Donnington wood way, therefore whenever you travel in the one direction towards the estate you have to pass the entrance and recip the roundabout down the road and then drive back up on yourself into the estate. This was never communicated during sale and is a nightmare daily when a simple turning could of been put into the road network just like the further site entrance has.

What is the best feature of your home:

Solar panels included with the purchase which is beneficial, however an option could have been for buyers to purchase a battery to benefit from the solar power greater.

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

Good shops, restaurants and other essentials. Good distance to train station and local buses. The parking isn't great as terrible restrictions have been put in place and we aren't able to apply for permits. Some anti social behaviour due to the pub, but not often.

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

It would have been nice to know that the council were going to implement terrible parking restrictions which have caused a huge inconvenience to the residents with 2 cars.

What is the best feature of your home:

We have 2 bathrooms a balcony and a parking space.
