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

In a great area in nottingham by the canal! got an amazing selection of shops and right in the centre of Nottingham. unfortunately no parking and there’s a lot of work being done in the buildings surrounding but not a lot of noise thankfully

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

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

Can view property online which is great. Other than that not much else i can think of. I was very well informed of everything during my viewing and could easily raise any questions i had with Will or Bernadette.

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

The area is suitable for any working individual or student as there is local public transport around( bus stops and a tram station) two 2 small supermarkets, cafés, pubs, and restaurants a few minute walk away with views of the lovely Nottingham Canal

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

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

Everything was pretty clear in the website. I guess when I first moved in, I didn’t know there were LED lights under the kitchen cabinets, which are really wonderful at night time. I randomly discovered them a week ago, even though I’ve lived in this building for about six months now.

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

BW is a fabulous development with an extremely convenient location. I travel quite a lot and being close to the station was crucial for me when choosing a flat, and BW truly delivered on that point. Living on the canal cannot be more delightful, and being close to basically everything that Notts has to offer in the city centre is really great. BW is very well connected to the rest of the city (tram, bus) and the country (trains, coaches). I have not experienced any anti-social behaviour, traffic or any other noise in my months living here, nor any odours from the canal.

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

I have not had any issues to report or to be in contact with the landlord.

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

Nothing really, everything was absolutely clear during my viewing.

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

The local area is very convenient with many shops, supermarkets, and restaurants nearby. Public transport is easy to access and makes getting around the city simple. It’s a lively area with many students around and overall feels safe and comfortable to live in.

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

They were very fast and took care of it the next day with ease.

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

“I wish I were able to pay rent in shorter periods rather than committing to a full year. It’s not the worst for me, but it may be difficult for others.

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

Living in the city centre is perfect for my job, and there’s so many shops and cafes nearby to our disposal, nothing that we need is far away, and being right on the canal is amazing

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

In terms of any concerns, the management has responded and put my mind as ease within 24 hours of the concern being raised

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

As a former Brighton resident, I wish I had known how easy it is to live in a city, and how welcoming everyone in the community is, i would’ve moved a lot sooner!
