My only reservations about the entire development are regarding the prrice, security gates and parking.
Regarding the price, this development is considerably higher than other developments in the area, I’m aware this is because of the security and concierge service but it is a very steep increase in comparison. Having said that, I do not regret my choice to rent here and it’s been amazing.
The security gates have been temperamental over the last year and on spite of several attempts to fix it, one gate is still not fixed and constantly open. Considering we pay extra for the security I would hope they fo get properly fixed.
The parking has been an issue where there is no guest parking and prior to the front of the building being marked with a loading only sign, shopper’s would often park outside the building and block the entrance to the car park. I feel the management could have handled this better and quicker.
Having said that, the development is also to such a high standard that I have loved living here. Having never lived alone, I assumed I’d be scared or uncomfortable, but the security and finish on the flat has made me feel completely secure and at ease.
Everyone who has been to my flat has absolutely loved every detail and even having engineers come over have always asked questions about it.
Also having the concierge service has been so convenient especially with the number of parcels I have , and not always being home or working from home and not being able to be available all the time to collect them.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
My only reservations about the area is that nothing is open past 6/7pm. There’s nowhere to having dinner in the evenings or anything so you do have to drive out for anything. I think a lot of restaurants in the highstreet would do so well if open later.
I’ve never been to High Wycombe and having moved here into this new location and development, I have never regretted my choice.
Aside from that, I feel the location is absolutely perfect. It’s close to everything you could need such as shops, supermarkets, station, everything. The fact that I rarely need to use my car is so great because everything you could possible need is on your doorstep.
Having a supermarket, coffee shop, park and being close to a station were must haves on my list when looking for a location and in High Wycombe where I am, I have exactly all that and more all in walking distance.
Having worked from home for the last year and now having to go back to the office a few times a week, the commute to the office, while very expensive, is very convenient. I can be in London with 30 minutes which is quicker than a lot of my friends who actually live within London on the outer skirts. My friends are often quite jealous of how quick that is.
All in all, I would not trade the convenience of it all for anything.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Overall, great location, great development, great landlord, and almost no issues whatsoever.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
While I’ve not had many, the management have dealt with any issues immediately. The security gates were one of the main things I’ve had any dealings with and the management were ontop of it. While this is still not entirely fixed, they have been on the case.
