Constellation Mill, OL1

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

The range of local shops, restaurants, bars and open spaces is fairly average – there are enough essentials nearby but nothing particularly standout. Transport links are generally convenient, though not without occasional delays or congestion. Living on the street is acceptable overall, with parking usually manageable and bin collections mostly reliable, although there can be periods of noise or minor disruptions. The area is fine, but not exceptional.

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

Building management has generally been slow to respond to issues. While they do eventually address problems, communication can be inconsistent and resolutions often take longer than expected. Overall, the response has been below average and could be significantly improved.

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

I wish I had known more about the responsiveness of the property management team. From a viewing, you can’t really tell how quickly issues will be handled, and in practice the response times have been slower than expected. It’s something new neighbours should be aware of so they can plan accordingly.
