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.

The development has a good design with plenty of space unlike a lot of other new build estates. Sadly though Charles Church have not been a good developer. Poor communication and lack of care for residents has been a recurring theme. However the location and house design are excellent.

Design is fine; some interesting choices regarding bin enclosures. Overall though - site management is poor currently with poor communication. For example storing bricks in visitors spaces with no warning. Houses have a great look and overall a good site.

Building continues within the estate. Overall poor quality within the building lots of issues needed remedial attention. The situation involving the tie in to one internet provider and a poor one at that should certainly be taken into consideration by prospective buyers!

The upkeep of the site has been very poor with communal areas becoming overgrown, and complete inconsistency in the design of the front of houses. For example most houses have grass outside the front of the property, but towards the end of the development bark has been put in place instead which looks horrendous Work has would also start at 7am on the weekend with no regard for residents already in their homes. The location is amazing for a new build estate in a world heritage city

The development management has exceeded my expectations, especially in the initial stages. Sandy and Colin were fantastic. I am not equally happy with the aftersales customer care department, as they have been very slow. However, I have not faced significant issues.
