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

The area boasts a diverse range of local shops, restaurants, and bars, offering a variety of cuisines and shopping options to cater to different tastes and preferences. The open spaces are well-maintained and provide excellent recreational opportunities for all ages. Transport links are highly convenient, with frequent bus and train services, though occasional delays can occur. Living on my street is pleasant, with ample parking availability and regular bin collections. The neighborhood is quiet, with minimal traffic noise and very low levels of anti-social behavior, making it a peaceful place to live.

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 the limited availability of guest parking. While resident parking is ample, finding space for visitors can be challenging. Additionally, the community is very quiet, which is great for peaceful living, but it means social events should be kept low-key to respect neighbors.

What is the best feature of your home:

The best feature of my home is the spacious and sunlit living room, perfect for relaxation and entertaining guests.

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

The design of the estate is nice, the area quiet. There is not enough shops and no local doctors or health care facility. Parking for visitors is ridiculous, too many complaints of parking on kerbs when other house owners use the visitor spaces, which are located outside their property, for their own needs and own visitors. The entrance and exit to the estate is sometimes blocked by vehicles parked up on the pavements blocking your view to exit right. Station road is horrendous, I’ve heard they want their own permit parking in their private car park and to have a gate put up, when most of them don’t even use the spaces in the car park and block the main road up. If they are to not use the spaces then the car park should be for our visitors. Anti social behaviour has ruined the estate with some older children thinking they own the estate and acting like bullies. Rubbish around the flats makes it look like a dump. Too many 12 year old parents screaming and shouting at each other in the street whether day or night is becoming embarrassing and annoying. A lot of tenancy fraud going on, overcrowding which adds to the noise. The open planned front garden is a ridiculous idea because other people don’t give a damn and trample all over it including letting dogs of the lead and letting them do their business outside your front door. Attitude of the village is awful all they do is moan.

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

Yes but they take a year to fix things. The managers have disappeared.

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

That there are no nice neighbours. Didn’t think it would be so stuck up.

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

Perfect location; close to shops, a park and the train station. A short walk away from lots of lovely places to eat and I can be down at the seafront in a 20 minute walk.

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

Yes and very quickly. Any sub contractors who have come in have been very friendly also.

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

Just email and ask if you have a question. Hyde always respond quickly and clearly communicate expectations to you.

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

The centre of Chichester is only a 25 minute walk away, which saves time trying to park and travel and is really easy.

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

How long the development of the entire estate would take

What is the best feature of your home:

Open plan living and dining area makes it a sleek design

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

Shoreham is a lovely town to live in. Had great public transport options to access Brighton, Worthing and even london. The 700 bus is a 2 min walk and the station is a 10 min walk. There is due to be a parking scheme soon on the development so unable to comment on that as yet.

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

As above. Repairs take a long time and have had repeat visits for the same issue.

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

The high council tax is definitely a negative to living here as is the fact parking restrictions are coming into place. The location is great.
