Wise Living

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

Living here has been pretty unpleasant. The shops are far and not very good, and there’s hardly anywhere nice to eat or go out. Public transport is unreliable — buses are often late or don’t show up at all. The street is noisy at all hours with cars speeding past and frequent arguments or shouting. Parking is a nightmare, with people often blocking driveways. Bin collections are missed regularly and rubbish piles up. Anti-social behaviour is common, especially at night. The house itself is damp, poorly insulated and needs a lot of repairs. Would not recommend living here.

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

Very badly. Reported a leak which caused serious damage — it took them 4 months to fix it properly. The delay was unacceptable and communication throughout was poor. The damage was outrageous and could have been avoided with quicker action.

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

I wish I’d known how poorly the building is managed and how long it takes to get anything fixed. From the outside everything looked fine, but you don’t see the constant maintenance issues, poor soundproofing, and how unresponsive management can be until you're already living here. Definitely ask existing residents before moving in.

Living in my area has its pros and cons. There’s a good range of local shops, takeaways, and cafes within walking distance, and a few nice parks and open spaces nearby for walks or exercise. Public transport is generally reliable, with buses running frequently and a train station close by, although delays can happen during rush hour. The street itself is fairly quiet most of the time, though parking can be a challenge in the evenings as spaces fill up quickly. Bin collections are regular and efficient, though occasionally missed. Anti-social behaviour is rare, but there can be occasional noise from traffic, especially during weekends. Overall, it’s a convenient place to live with a decent balance of amenities and accessibility.

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

I wish I had known more about the parking arrangements and visitor policies, as these details aren’t always clear during viewings. Also, some noise from neighboring units can be noticeable at times, so earplugs might come in handy!
