Wise Living

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

It's a really central location. Great transport links and easy for commuting to lots of areas. It can be a busy road as it's near a school but that only affects us at certain times. There is limited visitor parking which is definitely an issue and since the development they have changed street parking rules also which is annoying for when you want guests over.

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

They have responded well. As mentioned the issue we have is with the quality of the contractors work but this is no reflection on the management themselves.

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

I wish we would have known there were plans to change the parking restrictions outside the flats. We only found out the change the day we moved in.

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

Very close to Wolverhampton city and lots of different transport links. Parking is a bit of a problem because it’s only one car per house, if you haven’t registered a family or friends car they will get a ticket or won’t have anywhere to park. People don’t dispose of rubbish correctly so bins are not emptied as they should. Garage and shops nearby in walking distance such as Asda and home bargains. Pretty quiet estate apart from when people are blasting music and revving their engines at the garage. School times are difficult with pick up and drop off for school kids blocking entry to estate. Small local park nearby and canal for nice walks.

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

Yes. Washing machine not working when first moved in, faulty fire alarm and leaking shower however were all fixed quickly and in unsocial hours when needed

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

I wish I had of know the lack of garden space and the lack of storage in kitchen.

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

The street is quiet, there is no traffic noise or anti-social behaviour. There are plenty of amenities nearby, local shops, supermarkets, fast food, gym and tram stop with 5-10 minute walk.

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

We had an issue with the washing machine not pumping water, someone came out the next day to fix it.

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

That you don’t have to go with the existing energy providers.

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

Excellent location right on the edge of Boston but close enough to supermarkets and local shops. 2 parking spaces

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

All we have to do is raise the issue online and it gets dealt with asap. For emergencies, we can call the directly and they get it sorted straight away

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

The parking spaces are not solid, they are made up of loose stones which is annoying

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

The local area is generally solid. There are enough shops nearby for day-to-day things, and you’ve got decent options for food and takeaways even if it’s not the trendiest spot. Transport links are convenient and getting into the centre is easy. My street is usually quiet with minimal issues, though parking can be a bit tight at times. Bin collections are regular and I haven’t had any real problems with antisocial behaviour or noise. Overall, it’s a comfortable area to live in.

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

They’ve been quite good. When I report something, they don’t ignore it — they follow up, and for most things, it gets fixed. It’s not flawless, but the effort is there.

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

I wish I’d known how limited the communal outdoor space was — the garden area isn’t very big, which makes relaxing or socialising outside feel cramped sometimes
