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

Living here is very convenient. You can easily walk to the city centre to find bars and restaurants. There is a bus stop right at the entrance of the building, with direct routes to both the University of Bath and Bath Spa University. The train station is also within a 10-minute walk, making travel by train very convenient. A new system has been introduced for the private parking spaces, so they are well managed. Waste collection is very timely, and there are no unpleasant odours. As the flat is located on the north side of Block B, there is only occasional noise from nearby construction during working hours; otherwise, there is almost no traffic noise at all.

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

The property management responds to issues very promptly, and there are dedicated staff to handle emergencies as well.

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

I’m not entirely sure when the supermarket will officially open. Before I moved in, I had heard that there would be a convenience store at the corner.

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

The best thing about the building is the location and proximity to town, and local restaurants, supermarkets and bars. Also great public transport including buses and train station nearby. Parking availability is ok but expensive (as is most of Bath)

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

Poor communication regarding ongoing repair progress and sometimes unprofessional behaviour, dealing with complaints.

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

The building overall has not been built to a good standard and that is evident. There have been multiple issues in different apartments. During the first few months there were numerous hot water issues (now resolved) but ongoing issues with utilities.

Luke, Alexandra and Rich have been incredibly helpful and a pleasure to interact with, always taking the time to respond thoughtfully and ensure things are resolved efficiently. My experience here has been much more positive thanks to their help and attentiveness.

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

The coffee table differed from what was advertised/discussed and couldn’t be adjusted at the time. It would be ideal if this could be reconsidered with greater flexibility. Other than that, everything has been good.

Living in Bath is a great experience, especially for students and young professionals. The city has a really strong mix of high-quality shops, from well-known brands to unique independent boutiques, giving it a more premium feel than most cities its size. The food and social scene is a big highlight too, with a wide range of cafés, restaurants, and pubs that are consistently high quality and perfect for both casual and more upmarket outings. One of the standout features is the access to green space. Areas like Royal Victoria Park and the surrounding countryside make it easy to balance city life with outdoor activities, whether that’s going for walks, runs, or just relaxing with friends. Transport is also very convenient. Bath Spa railway station provides quick and direct links to London and Bristol, making travel and commuting straightforward. The city itself is very walkable, so most places are easy to get to without needing a car. Day-to-day living is enjoyable, with a safe, friendly atmosphere and a strong sense of community. Residential streets are generally clean and well-maintained, and everything you need is close by, making it a very convenient and pleasant place to live.

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

The building management has been very responsive and efficient. Any issues I’ve raised have been acknowledged quickly and resolved within a reasonable timeframe, with clear communication throughout the process.

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

I wish I had known before moving in that the gym offers free classes like boxing and yoga — it’s a great added benefit and something I would have made more use of from the start.

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

This is an ideally located part of Bath - right on the river, close links to two train stations and great bus links. Lots of activity going on, pubs, sport, cafes, supermarkets and of course beautiful Victoria Park for the best dog walks.

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

Everything handled in a timely manner and team are easy to communicate with.

There are so many positives about the building, I don't need to fixate on negatives.
