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

this development is good the bin collections are brilliant, only thing I would say is there is no street lights also parking is an issue not a lot of parking for visitors.

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

Only bad thing is there are steps into the development and it’s not great for pushchairs or the disabled.

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

Tavistock is a lovely town with a good range of independent shops, private and state schools and transport links to Plymouth. Good parking availability on our street. There has been some anti social behaviour on the estate from some but we have a good community atmosphere.

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

It’s hard to see what the views from your windows will be like when you’re buying off plan.

What is the best feature of your home:

The house has very good size rooms, is bright because of the large windows and has beautiful views across Dartmoor.

Tavistock is a fantastic area to live surrounded by the moor. The local town is a great place for a mooch or to get your shopping fix. Many local pubs and restaurants offer great services. The stairs leading in and out of the site however are steep and difficult for prams and impossible for wheelchairs. Zero noise and light pollution. Lovely people in the area.

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

End of terrace sun facing has lead to a lot of movement and cracks.

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

Larger patio and moving the path to the side of the garden rather than the middle. Parking area easily fits a garage but we don't have one.

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

The overall house is good,not to keen on the open plan,in a good location as it’s near the town and close to shops,still waiting for work on my house to be done,the communication skills are bad when you try and get hold of them they don’t get back in contact with you. The gardens are bumpy and ruined,half of the garden is just mud. Parking is fine in regards to my house,but people with allocated parking spaces don’t always use them,so visitors can’t always use the spaces. The house is not very sound proof.

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

The garden was lovely when first moved in but the grass now seems to not grow as black worms are feeding of the roots of the grass.So I’m having to spend a lot of money for it to be sorted out! Knowing where the allocated parking spaces are for visitors too!

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

Far from any food shops, no slope (awful seeing as it’s a family estate, have to drag a pram up the steps leading to estate.) although we have had a letter saying no parking on pavements people still do it, which means having to walk on road. People in flats cause nuisance. On the other hand, we are only a short walk from town, and it’s a nice estate.

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

That planning permission for slope was apparently denied, meaning not easy access for families who don’t drive and are having to walk.
