Nice, modern flat with excellent building and property management. A bit on the pricey side though.

The building is a relatively modern design and everything seems to be in quite good condition. The layout is quite nice inside, although I feel like the bedroom could do with having a larger window (I am in a 1 bedroom flat, but I think some of the other flats do have larger windows in the bedrooms). My flat overlooks the courtyard – the downside to this is sounds seem to echo and carry around the courtyard and you can hear absolutely everything in the courtyard and from other people’s flats if they have their windows open.
The building/property management is absolutely fantastic here. If anything is faulty in the flat, you can report it and it gets fixed very quickly. Vicky is great and is always quick to answer any questions/queries I might have.
The price is a bit on the high side, especially since parking is not included. There is parking available in the NCP car park attached to Velocity Village, and they do offer a discount for tenants, however, it’s still about £95/month. This, on top of rent and council tax, really adds up.

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

The location is my favourite part about this development. It is really conveniently located – close to town and all the shops, close to Kelham Island, close to grocery stores. There are also a good number of cafes and restaurants within walking distance.

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

I would have chosen a flat that doesn’t overlook the courtyard, because the noise (especially in the summer when I like to keep my window open because of the heat) has sometimes been incredibly frustrating. I work long shifts and especially last summer was struggling to get any sleep due to people making noise in their flats with the windows open that carried out into the courtyard.

If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:

Already discussed above, but if there was only one thing I could change it would be the price. The location is great and the flat is nice, however, I don’t think it’s quite worth what they are charging in rent, especially when you factor in the cost of parking as this is not included in the rent.

Not perfect, but great for the city centre.

The design of the building is good – the reception is bright and airy, and the apartments are modern and stylish. The facilities are also good, as we appreciate the underground parking and 17th floor balcony. The gym could use more free weights/benches, as it is currently somewhat bare. We have not used the cinema room or the meeting rooms. Building/property management have mostly been fair and friendly. There are currently building works going on in the local area and there is sometimes an issue with soundproofing. This extends to a lack of soundproofing from noisy neighbors too, although management were sympathetic and quick to respond. Although the immediate surrounding area is also currently being regenerated, there is also sometimes an issue with litter and cleanliness. The flats also get quite hot in the summer.

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

Like:
Walking distance to city centre
Close to M60
Dog-friendly
Clean

Dislike:
Local area needs development
Noise issues/noise-proofing
Rubbish chute doesn’t work half the time

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

The 17th floor balcony is only open at certain times of the day.

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

We had issues with tenants downstairs being noisy, management were sympathetic (if not entirely effective). We also had issues with a broken dishwasher, and a repairman was sent out promptly.

Living there makes life easy.

the concierge staff Juba, Simon and the night shift are so helpful and friendly. The manager Mike and Elle at the reception desk who organises the social events for the residents also so helpful and friendly. Also Antonia the leasing team is helpful. amazing staff indeed!
You feel comfortable living here…

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

AnacondaCut building is well- structured. Its location is so convenient. The communal areas are so good and versatile. Living there makes life easy. The most important thing to me is the maintenance. If we have any issue with anything or any faulty problem it would be fixed quickly and for free. The engineer there Shane and the maintenance team are so friendly and happy to help. They fix anything as soon as possible. So you do not worry about calling anyone outside the building to come and sort it out. You spare money and time.
The only thing that I am not that satisfied the wall paints in the apartments. It is cheap and easy to stain.

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

The noise as regard to construction work outside.
The street also not that clean..

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

Mike the manger is so helpful and friendly.. he tries to sort out everything…..

Vivacious Village

Very good accommodation with a clean modern design both internally and externally. The accommodation is always clean and I almost never hear noise from the fellow residents. The sizeable balcony provides an exceptional view of Kelham island and Parkwood hills. Location close to the city centre is ideal especially for students as both the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam city campus are easily within walking distance.

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

Good local area. Close to the city centre so things such as boots and supermarkets are walking distance.

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

How steep the hill was

If there is one thing you would change about your flat or property what would it be:

It didn’t arrive with some kitchen, basic appliances such as a toaster or microwave.
