Eldridge Park, RG40

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

There are no shops, restaurants or transport links closer than a 20 min walk from the development. The area is reasonably quiet but Berkeley have done the bare minimum to landscape the development and the adjacent nature area.

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

I should have gotten a professional snagging company to review the property. I did not expect so many issues from a ‘premium’ builder.

Please share one thing (or more) which you would change about your development:

The layout is poorly designed. I was too late buying to amend the plans. The sockets and outlets are in very bizarre locations. The stairway cuts a chunk out of the living room ceiling when this could easily have been reversed to climb above the utility. Looks good on the surface, but in reality the homes are poorly designed and badly fitted.
