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

Repeated attendances from emergency services. Police and fire crews due to disputes with other tennents in their flats neighbouring ours. Late night early morning it feels like weekly one of them will attend for a domestic incident or arson. To the point had I known just how often this would happen I certainly would not have moved there. I’m not comfortable leaving my daughter at 17 at home alone at night when I work nights now.

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

I initially had a leak they responded within 24hrs.

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

The constant domestic incidents with neighbours a few doors down and next door is draining when I work 13hr shifts I need my sleep and when police are attending it’s not quiet.

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

The area has lots of amenities such as shops, restaurants, cafes, nightclubs, aswell as essential transport links to Leeds and Manchester via bus and train. However the area is quite unsafe with some incidents occurring such as the our buildings front door getting smashed by someone and then a few weeks later the back door has been smashed aswell. The building is incredibly sound proof until you have to open the windows in summer because of the heat. You can hear people in the night clubs until 4-5am shouting, screaming, fighting etc. then you have people revving their engines on the road outside.

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

Any issues we have raised have been dealt with swiftly. The only issue that causes delayed response is when the doors get smashed. Obviously waiting for parts takes time but it makes the building feel vulnerable and insecure.

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

I wish I had known about the night clubs and strip club outside. I also would have spent more time in the town centre to get a proper understanding of the behaviour in town and the kind of people it attracts.

I have been living in this area for about three years. The location is very convenient, and the neighbours are friendly and get along well with each other. However, when I walk my dog, I sometimes notice dog waste left on the ground. It would be very helpful if the property management could install a few dog waste bins along the nearby streets. I believe this would help keep the area cleaner and improve the local environment.

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

The building management has generally responded promptly and professionally whenever I have raised any issues. They have been helpful and have made an effort to resolve problems in a reasonable amount of time. Overall, I am satisfied with their service.

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

I wish I had known that the mobile phone signal in this area can be quite weak due to its hillside location. I also wish I had known that there are not enough dog waste bins nearby, as this would help keep the area cleaner. Other than these minor issues, I have been very happy living here.

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

The area has a good range of local shops, supermarkets, restaurants, and cafés, making everyday shopping and dining convenient. There are also pleasant parks and open green spaces nearby for walking and outdoor activities. Public transport is mainly provided by regular bus services, which offer good access to surrounding areas, although there is no train station within close walking distance. Each property has its own allocated parking space, so parking is not an issue. The street is generally quiet, with little traffic noise, regular bin collections, and no significant problems with anti-social behaviour. Overall, it is a peaceful and convenient place to live.

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

Yes,all the time they have been responsive to any problem raised

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

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is that it would have been helpful to have a clearer understanding of the rent negotiation process and whether there was any flexibility available before agreeing to the final amount. Apart from that, the property has been a pleasant place to live. I would advise new neighbours to familiarise themselves with the local area, bus routes, and nearby amenities, as these details are not always obvious during a viewing. The allocated parking space, quiet street, and general upkeep of the area are definite positives.

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

I have been living at Scalars View for about five years. It is conveniently located near schools and public transport, offers affordable rates, and provides comfortable living. There is an Aldi nearby, and a bit further away, a Tesco and a local swimming pool, gym, and fitness centre. I probably don't need to mention hair and nail salons—there are plenty of them everywhere.

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

Prompt, same-day responses to inquiries, along with detailed, accessible, step-by-step instructions, are especially helpful for those with little prior experience dealing with rentals, security deposits, and related documentation.

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

There is no place to store bicycles: leaving them in the courtyard carries a risk of theft (no one is immune to theft), and there is simply not enough space inside the house.
