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.

Overall great design and materials generally really good. However some details are not thought through (ex wood flooring very soft and marks super easily, some bathroom sinks are tiny, kitchen tap design is impractical and splashes everywhere, fob on main door on wrong side, no provision for cargo bikes locks etc). Last but not least there are some serious defects in major works: lift breaks down at least once every two months, and main hot water for building breaks every winter when temperature changes. Also fob not working when panel gets overheated in hot weather. Property management is absolutely horrendous

The design is very modern and has been admired by a lot of people who have visited. The lifts in the building could be faster and the bike storage facilities could be more secure/more available. At the moment I'm having to keep my bike on the balcony as there isn't enough space. The bin stores could do with some work, the door intermittently works and feels like it gets filled up incredibly quickly. With that all said, issues do get dealt with eventually.

The design of the building is aesthetically pleasant and functional. The local supermarket and coffee store are useful as is the community space for residents. There are aspects of the property management which are problematic: lifts are frequently often if service (problem going on for five years) where residents don’t have a single point of reference for any maintainance work required.

Good aspects: Kitchen and bathrooms are well designed and well fitted; great views from the development over the park with large windows, which give plenty of natural light; large balcony; well maintained communal areas; well decorated communal area and lobby; good amount of bike parking; noise doesn't travel through walls from neighbours on side and above and below; flat keeps warm in winter. Bad aspects: The property gets VERY hot in summer – almost insufferable at night without air conditioning and the rooms get very airless; the extractor fan installed in the flat is TERRIBLE – it makes so much noise and is not effective at getting moisture out; the balcony doors were badly design and are not strong enough to withstand the wind when opened – mine have broken and were not well repaired; the lifts keep breaking every summer - that's unacceptable in a development that is only a few years old!; I had cosmetic defects from when I bought the flat that took YEARS to repair – really bad property management; the service charge amount keeps creeping up year on year – it's becoming very expensive. I would think twice about buying a new build again

The design overall is really well done and the courtyard is beautiful. The flat has large windows which let a lot of light in and the fact that it's open plans means you can adapt the Livin space to suit your personal needs. The flat has a dishwasher and the kitchen facilities are really well done too.
