We believe the best information about a residential development comes from the people living there. Owners and tenants have a lot of useful information to share with their prospective neighbours, not just on the property itself and its locality, but also on the developer and the building’s management.

Good - lovely open spaces, at least 3 parks and fields leading to river. Great coffee shop, barbers and hairdressers and Sainsburys. Great community spirit - lots of events put on such as allotment open days with stalls and produce, Remembrance Sunday service, litter picks, carol singing. Good Primary and secondary schools. Bad - parking not great. Huge 5 bed houses with drive way space for 2 cars for example. Lots of cars parking on main roads means rush hour and school drop off/pick is horrendous. For a huge estate it still feels quite spacious compared to Red House/Oakhurst for example - wide roads and houses not on top of each other. Strange design/layout in some areas for example a neighbour can’t get their wheelie bin out of their garden easily as they have to go up a step.

The development looks good, but a number of houses have issues many years later. Roads are not finished many years after they should be. A lot of areas have been left in a poor state by the house building companies.

Facility management could be better hearing about development news from Facebook second hand instead of via the Tadpole app is a little disappointing our service charge pays for this but it’s rarely updated. Building management could be better, window cleaning etc

There has been a few plumbing design issues, the pipes are not that easy to get to below the sink. I have a large cupboard in the main bedroom and in the 2nd room, this could have been made to use not just a random cupboard for example lighting installed.

The design is good from the outside , the walls are paper thin inside the property also the communal doors slam shut and can wake you up at night , the management is all good if I have any problems then I know they will come out and fix it quickly so that helps
