Courtyard Apartments at Circus St, BN2

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

Centrally located in Brighton, and although the London Road area and The Level have been gentrified it’s still full of drug addicts and anti social behaviour. Very scary as a love woman out at night to walk the dog. Even my partner has been grabbed by a drug addict.

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

We should’ve been told about the cost of utilities, how u safe the area is and how awfully loud the building is. Im pretty sure it’s illegal not to disclose that just metres away from the building to the left and the right there’s half-way houses for addicts all around the building and horrendous amounts of noise.

What is the best feature of your home:

Modern interior design, lovely view, huge windows which are amazing in Summer and let in so much light. Friendly on-site staff Kerri and Claudio

Hi back for 3rd review. Been here 15 months now and still can’t get in touch with clarion. Service charge has gone from £121 to £336 a MONTH. All clarion residents agreed not to pay and awaiting tribunal. No traffic noise. Have some drug problems but that is whole of Brighton.

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

Nothing. Clarion take rent and won’t contact or help. Savills say your clarion go away.

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

Why did Brighton council have 22 shared owners in 142 block savills rent out. Mess. Absolute mess. We been hung up to dry.

I enjoy living here, although the student residence is pretty loud and Circus street itself is often filled with rubbish

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

They are always quick to respond to any issues we have had

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

How to use the extraction system, and the noise level in the area

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

Location is great, 5 mins walk from seafront, 10 walk from town Centre and direct trains to London too.

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

All they say is they will look into this and a year and half later they’re still looking into this.

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

No access to gym although we were promised access.

The apartment is place in a central location, very close to an Aldi store and lots of local grocery shops. It is also about 5-10min from The Lanes - where you can find dozens of pubs and restaurants. The parking situation is a bit dire, there is only one, two close streets where you can park with a valid permit, but these are occupied most of the times. There is very little traffic noise. The are and is surroundings are clean and quiet.

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

The management was quick to answer and repair any issues we had, and we had quite a few. They went surprisingly above and beyond with the communication and updates on any amendments.

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

The price for the heating is ridiculous because of the floor heating system. Each room has individual thermostats and if you use just the bedroom one, it will barely heat the place. You have to use all of them for a decent (above 20 degrees) temp in the house, and the price would shoot over £300 /mo really quick. This is not for you if you can't live with 17-19 degrees in winter.
