Good location, average management

CCTV is required because of the theft mentioned above.
Design and facilities are good.
When we moved in in July 2021, we asked for some help with issues in our home e.g. flooring and walls in the bathroom had yellow stains and the back door handle was damaged. I submitted a request over the phone and heard nothing back.

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

Parking availability is poorly managed. Street is always full on both sides due to the MSV care home staff parking in our space.
There is regular theft on the street at night. People’s car gets unlocked and items are stolen and the car is left open overnight and the police will not do anything about it.
Lots of local shops and the main bus stop is right around the corner.

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

The lack of support from MSV housing and the kitchen exhaust fan not having a vent taking the air out of the house. Both fans need to be on and both doors need to be open while cooking otherwise the smell spreads to the top of the house, even with the door to the staircase closed.

What is the best feature of your home:

A toilet/bathroom on all 3 floors and the storage space.

It’s a gorgeous flat and I’m glad I found The Depot

The design is great honestly, very modern but I feel like their could be better ventilation to prevent damp (though it’s not currently bad anyway) and sometimes the shower or toilet flushing power doesn’t feel very strong. It’s a gorgeous flat and I’m glad I found The Depot.

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

Great area to live in. Many shops close by as well as the universities and good forms or transport.

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

Not sure

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

Tbh, I’ve not been sure who to contact when it comes to issues so I can’t give a response
