Parking can be challenging at times as it seems to be an “as long as I’m ok” attitude. There are often huge gaps between cars because people tend to be quite inconsiderate when parking. The shops are good. We are close to a big Tesco and a Lidl so no complaints on that front. The bins are a bit challenging because the collection point is to be at the top of the road. We are at the bottom so it makes it much harder to bring them in and take them out. Throughout the summer, we have seen numerous rats are roaming the garden area. The rats are completely unacceptable considering it is a brand-new development and we are paying quite a lot of money considering the area.

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

I think there are too many houses for the amount of parking spaces that we have available so it makes it challenging. We didn’t obviously notice before we moved in so it would’ve been nice to maybe get a heads up.

Most households these days have two cars between them, so that should’ve been something that was planned for.

The other thing is is the bins collection location. We had no idea that ours was at the top of the road and that a bin lorry won’t fit down this road.

Surely it would’ve made sense to create a street that allows for this.

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

We have only had one issue so far and the management company has responded appropriately.

No comments on that front

Space in rooms is a little small, bathroom is good but the windows are still see through.
Management of the properties are excellent, all staff are friendly and kind and super helpful.

Local shops make it easy to shop. Bin collection is always on time.
There can be quite a lot of some anti-social behaviour, children will brake the lights in the park and kick balls off of the walls quite a lot. Very close to the town and facilities.

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

Bathroom windows are see through to neighbours. It’s always either super warm or super cold. The boiler falters regularly.
There are rats in the alleys.

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

The building management have acted upon any issues brought up fast and effectively, unfortunately many issues with the building is down to the initial build.

The Welsh Streets development is brilliant, and has been successful in bringing together a range of people from varied backgrounds into a unified community. The local shops, supermarkets and pubs are great, and we’re right next to some of Liverpool’s biggest parks.

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

The sound-proofing not being the best would have been good to know, as we’d have chosen our bedroom a little more carefully! We also weren’t really aware of just how good the location is before moving in, as we were new to Liverpool; being so close to parks and serenity but also walking/ cycling distance to the city centre is ideal.

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

Very swiftly and helpfully. We’ve needed building management a number of times for routine issues, and it’s always been a prompt and speedy response.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

I think the housing development is in a great place close to shops and schools, transport links and the city centre is in walking distance.

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

How little privacy you get and how the rent is ridiculous and gets higher every year.

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

They haven’t responded very well to anything it’s either generic or like they can’t be bothered
