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

Wished they stop being a money grabbing and treat customers better.

What is the best feature of your home:

Nothing, they're still treating us badly and not being transparent throughout this journey.

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

The development is literally across from the entrance to Brierly park and is great for walks and cycling. There is adequate shopping within a 10 minute walk the roads around the area where we live are in a bit of disrepair. We love the street everyone in our cul de sac are great nice and quiet . Minimal traffic due to cul de sac.

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

Yes as stated above we have contacted them a few times and with the exception of one contractor not getting in touch with Harron all has been resolved quite quickly.

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

Wish the street had not been left until now without the top layer of tarmac being laid as it is hard to get up the curb with a low classic car .

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

It is no secret that the local area is in need of a little TLC. That said, it made the house prices very reasonable and we are fortunate enough to live on the edge of a forest park so makes up somewhat for the town. Traffic noise is really low, services that I need are readily available and we have no issues with AS behaviour despite living on the edge of a park. Generally we are happy with the area and the development site.

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

Despite being in pandemic times they were efficient with responses to issues

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

I don’t really have any. Do your research, ask questions and thoroughly check the property at all stages to raise issues

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

There are a good close range of amenities which drew us to the development. Unfortunately the road leading to the development isn’t particularly wide and can be double parked which when the road gets busier as more people moving in it may become a problem. Someone stole our bowl that was outside for Halloween.

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

To start with the problems seemed to be getting dealt with well. However as time went on communication ceased from the building manager and we were left in the dark as to when our issues would be fixed.

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

Ensure that your issues are dealt with swiftly, escalate if they’re not.
