They have responded promptly and appropriately, and have been reliable.

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

Not sure - it was a pretty transparent viewing. Maybe it would be that not all apartments in the building look the same.

Good transport links to the centre, access to supermarket, there is good parking and the area is quiet

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

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

As I did a virtual viewing I was unaware of the area so more insight into this would be useful

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

The area doesn't offer much. It's very quiet though, which is a plus for me. Unfortunately the public transport isn't great in Cambridge, which in general makes moving around (without a bike) quite annoying.

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

The building manager has always been responsive and has taken action quickly to any issues or queries I've had.

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

Probably the fact that in the area there isn't much, particularly the only supermarket around is a Waitrose, which is very expensive. Also that the internet connection isn't very fast because we still don't have fiber.

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

The area is nice and calm. A bit expensive area and there is only one bus that services this part, which can cause some delays. Internet and phone service are also a big problem as there isn’t much signal. There’s only one supermarket close but it’s easy to have things delivered. But so far it has been a nice place to live.

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

So far they have been really approachable and helpful.

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

The bad signal in the area and the internet service.

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

There’s a good selection of local supermarkets, especially now the sainsburies has opened. There’s many pubs nearby but you’ll have to travel at least 15 minutes by bike to find restaurants. There’s a number of nearby buses into town, and the cycle lane to the train station (about 15 mins by bike). The area is quiet, the building is well sound proofed. The bin collections could be more frequent as rubbish builds up later in the week.

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

So far every issue we have reported has been fixed quickly (within a week). They even reply on evenings and weekends

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

The building is quiet and pretty warm in the winter. Our apartment stayed cool last summer.
