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

Parking has been a terrible experience. They charge £150 per month, the charges for electric car charging is crazily expensive and management hasn’t done anything abt it despite being asked and they are supposed to be environmentally friendly? The design of the car park has been terribly done, with barely any room for delivery lorries and bin lorries and so many emails to management goes ignored. Been stuck behind so many lorries despite paying so much money and management do nothing abt this. I have been stuck behind lorries for 15-20mins at a time and been late for work etc. even after building work finished, there’s delivery lorries, bin lorries you get stuck behind.

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

No response, a lot of emails gets ignored. Emails abt rude concierge, fire safety rules for pets - are just outright ignored.

Very limited public spaces, no gym, no garden, cramped parking, rude and unhelpful concierge, no sound proofing in apartments

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

The building is a short walk to the centre, which makes eating out, shopping and commuting to work really easy. The area itself is nice and safe.

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

The location of the building is great. It is about 10 to 15 minutes walk to the city center. My apartment is near to the main road but I hardly had any issues with noises. Bin room is neatly kept as well.

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

I haven't got any issues on this yet. But other questions to the reception are normally responded to promptly.

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

I loved that I was able to receive actual video of the apartment I was going to get.

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

pro - Good location, clean insides, secure and modern. con - The construction going on has made living in this property absolutely horrible. 1.5 years and counting is a long time to live without peace, lack of privacy and constant drilling noise + vibrations.

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

They probably cannot do much, I dont know. Not their fault.

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

This construction work & how long this will go for. If I knew about it at the time of renewing, I would not have renewed contract.
