ASDA is just about 4 minutes drive away and Tesco is about 10 minutes drive. There is a bar close by which you can easily walk to to have a couple beers. There is a pizza and fish and chips shop nearby as well. Bin collections is quite good, however needs to be put out in the appropriate place at the appropriate time for it to be collected. As regards traffic noise or antisocial behavior, it is non existent. It’s a very calm environment.

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

I wish I had known the rooms did not have any wardrobes in them.

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

They have responded promptly and swiftly. They have even raised up issues I didn’t take note of and fixed it.

Antisocial behaviour is prominent here and I’m certain some neighbours were not screened prior to moving in. Numerous occasions police have had to visit the street. Bin collection is hit or miss. When there is a football match locally or during school pick-up times, it is almost impossible to access the street.

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

Was told we had to pay a deposit before viewing the property which was a massive let down. Had to convince the builders to let me on site to take a quick look through the window.

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

Building management have responded to faults but often takes a while to resolve them.

Good connection to local transport routes/town shops etc.
Parking is not convenient most parking spaces are outside another persons property & you have to display a permit to park in your own space & have the car registered for any guests so if this is a random visit from a friend/ family on a weekend there is no where to park as you can’t ring & register over the weekend.

Always other people’s rubbish left on the floor in the bin storage area & outside of it feel sorry for the houses located next to the bin storage areas.

Cameras installed with no notice to tenants/ doors on apartment blocks never full shut so anyone can just walk in & out the apartment blocks.

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

The reviews online/google speak for themselves wish this had been taken into consideration more before moving in as they speak for themselves.

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

Very poorly – Repairs take weeks & even months to be rectified nothings but issues since moving in, communication has been awful passed left right and centre and no one wants to take any ownership.

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

Locality is perfect. Walking distance to Mansfield Town. 2 Aldi supermarkets very close by and local petrol stations are easy to get to. Close proximity to Royal mail delivery office has proved to be very helpful! Bus and train stations also within walking distance. Parking is good I have no trouble with finding a space outside my home. Bin collections are successful and regular with no issues. Little noisy due to the police station around the corner with sirens but that is expected and not a nuisance. No anti social behaviour that I have witnessed.

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

I wish I had known that I wouldn’t have access to the loft storage space.

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

I would prefer the price of the rent to reflect the size of the house.
