We’re very pleased with the location. It’s central and convenient, with good access to bus routes and other transport links, as well as shops and a supermarket nearby. There are also some lovely green spaces and parks close by, which is particularly convenient for families with young children. The area around the building is generally quiet, and we’ve found it to be a comfortable place to live. We haven’t experienced any significant issues with noise or antisocial behaviour. Parking is also convenient with the building’s parking facilities. Overall, the local area is one of the things we like most about living here.

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

The building management team have been helpful, approachable and responsive when we have raised any issues. Problems have generally been addressed promptly, and we have been happy with the support and communication provided.

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

The apartment itself is lovely and well designed. One thing we didn’t realise before moving in was that the communal areas and hallways could sometimes do with a little more attention when it comes to cleanliness. That said, we’ve noticed improvements when we’ve raised this with the management team. It’s also worth knowing that the apartments don’t come with a microwave. Overall, it’s a friendly and convenient place to live, with a lovely garden, parking and regular community events.

Great experience living here at Corkfield. Feels homely and warm. I was a tad bit distressed with the recent break-ins, that were accidental , but otherwise all good.

Prompt service and resolution. Staff is responsive and helpful.

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

Nothing bad. But management needs to be more mindful of the people entering premises as there have been quite a few break-ins recently.

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

The area is super convenient and pleasant to live in. Public transport links are right on your doorstep with nearby bus routes heading straight into the city centre and to the university. Having an Aldi just across the road makes grocery runs effortless, and Cannon Hill Park is close by for green open space. It is generally a safe, vibrant neighbourhood with minimal traffic noise.

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

First week since I moved in and loving it thoroughly. Feels like you are in a hotel. Safety is really good. Feels like home away from home. A good community. Location is superb with lots of eateries close by.

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

Whatever enquiries I had were responded promptly. I'm just waiting for my balcony key as it cannot be locked as it stands.

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

When I viewed the property I could see the full stadium/playing pitch but unfortunately most of it is now covered by the new hotel that is being built in front of my apartment and blocking my view, which I would have loved being a cricket fan.

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

I have lived here for a few weeks now and the location is perfectly situated near grocery stores and other local shops. If you ever wanted to do your weekly shopping at Aldi, it is across the road which is very helpful if you don't have a car, or only ride a bike. There is a gym located right next to the apartments if you are interested in fitness. If public transport is important, there are bus links close by that can go to the university, further in town, and to other store centers. There are many bin collection sites that are frequently emptied. Sometimes, at night there may be some noise from traffic but I only found it noticeable if the windows were left open.

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

The main issue I had was prior to moving in with some technical difficulties maybe delaying my move in date. There were frequent communication and luckily, the problem was solved such that I could move in on the day. They additionally answered any miscellaneous questions I had in the weeks that I have moved in since.

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

The apartment doesn't come with a TV, and that apartments aren't fitted with air conditioning.
