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

The local area is great. A lot of shops and parks nearby. Train station is at our door step, as well as busses and trams. There has been a lot of road works and at night which is not ideal. Theres also no large grocery shops within walking distance, most of them are local spots which are small and more expensive.

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

The building management team has been very responsive and reliable whenever I’ve raised an issue. They acknowledge requests quickly, keep you updated, and make sure problems are resolved efficiently. It’s clear they take residents’ concerns seriously and work hard to maintain a high standard across the building.

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

One thing I wish I had known beforehand is how the joint contract works. All tenants are jointly responsible for the full rent and any damages, not just their individual share, which can be important if one person falls behind or moves out. It’s worth making sure everyone understands this clearly from the start and has a good agreement between housemates to avoid any issues later on.

The development is only 20 minutes walk (the busy main road can be avoided after a few minutes where there is a turning into a quieter area) to the centre of town with a very good range of shops, supermarkets, entertainment and eateries. The local train link is only a few minutes walk away, there is easy access to the motorway and plenty of bus stops. The main road is very busy most of the time which can make it difficult when trying to pull out from the driveway and can be noisy but luckily I’m situated at the back of the building which is generally very quiet. There is no guest parking so visitors have to try to find parking on side roads which is mostly only available after 6pm due to residents permits. The traffic can be extremely heavy all the way along this stretch as it’s one of the main roads into/out of Bath, especially during peaks times which can making walking unpleasant and trying to pull out into the traffic difficult but, as stated, it’s a very convenient location.

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

As you can see, anything I have reported has always been swiftly resolved.

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

There would be no guest parking, a long wait for utility bills so I don’t know how economical the heating is yet, no immediate coffee shop or mini supermarket on site but the team on site are great and really helpful, they go out of their way to organise events for the community to try to help people meet and make new friendships and have fun. It’s early days but it’s so nice to feel part of a community. I’m looking forward to more events coming up. Thank you to the team here.

15 min walk from City centre, 5 min walk to train station. A small supermarket in one of the commercial spaces would be brilliant, feel that is the only thing missing!

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

I have had a few repairs that have been carried out promptly. The team were able to replace the double bed for a king size bed, for which I am very grateful.

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

I wish I had known the council tax band, which is completely out of the landlords hands. For future residents, they would be able to provide this info.

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

I’ve had a great experience living here. The apartments are modern, well-maintained, and really comfortable to live in. Everything feels clean and thoughtfully designed, which makes a big difference day to day. One of the standout features is the range of communal spaces—there’s plenty of room to relax, work, or socialise, and it never feels overcrowded. The gym is a huge bonus too: well-equipped, clean, and convenient, so you don’t even need to leave the building to stay active. The garden area is another highlight. It’s a lovely, peaceful space that’s clearly looked after and perfect for unwinding or getting some fresh air. Overall, it’s a clean, welcoming place with great facilities and a really nice atmosphere. Definitely somewhere I’d recommend.

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

Yes the building is always very helpful when anything occurs.

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

The building is very close to town which makes it very easy to get to places.

Just a stones throw from Ancoats and New Islington marina we are surrounded by great food and drink options. Similarly Piccadilly train/ tram station is a 5 minute walk away meaning nowhere is out of reach from The Castings.

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

The lettings team have been really helpful when renewing contracts, maintenance teams have been quick to respond and resolve any issues.

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

The Castings put on lots of social events which are really fun and a great way to meet your neighbours
