Fairly well built affordable property for the price

Fairly well built affordable property for the price, so can not complain really. However, the developers could have at least done the back garden upon sale. There’s a bit of a shortage of parking spaces in front of the property if you have two cars in the household or receive guests. Considering the garages these days are not usually wide nowadays as most people tend to use them for storage, more front parking would be nice.

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

Good nearby shops and retail such as Premier and Lidl. There have been increase in crime rates, car theft and ASB recently. Although this has been met with increased police patrol in the estate

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

There have fixed a few issues and defects but some still outstanding and being referred to the council - roads, street lighting etc.

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

Lay your back garden turf as soon as possible. It would save you so much money and energy - rotivating, weeding and topsoil etc…

Good in overall but need to work on details

Kasia (Owner)

Verified Resident

Aug 2021

In overall not bad however some bits and bobs where far feom expectations , little details like painting or finishing were not too professional. In our property we had a problem with leaking shower and it took over 9 months to fix to so we could not use the shower for this time. It was very disappointing

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

Fretson Park Development is located in very good area, close to city centre and close to all public transport however the area doesn’t have any facilities for kids within development which could be nice.

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

I am not too sure who was responsible but while fixing our shower we had to remind ourselves few times which was a bit Annoying

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

Nothing really to say in that box maybe expect the internet isnt well

An average experience

Lillian (Owner)

Verified Resident

Aug 2021

House design is good, layout works well and space used well. Garden was a mess when we moved in, but good size. Snag fixing was poor and easier to do most of it ourselves. Strange things not done eg toilet not attached to floor. Bath sealant was bad.

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

Not really any local shops, restaurants bars etc. Local park is fine, not amazing though, tend to go further afield. Some thefts reported in local area but neighbours are nice. Bins good, no traffic noise. Transport is fairly poor.

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

Bad at fixing snags and the man who came to fox some things did them so wrong another person had to come and redo them.

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

We didn’t realise the garden would just be a muddy slope.

Gleeson development and Fretson park

Oscar (Owner)

The house itself is great. The design is really good and makes use of the space. The downside is really the finish, lots of little things just done a bit carelessly. The aftersales care was good, to start with. The development would come and fix snagging issues but sometimes the fix would make issues worse and they’d have to keep coming out to fix things that they’d made worse, but they were pretty happy to come put and do that.

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

The development isn’t really near many shops or bars etc. There’s a mini supermarket at 10 minutes walk away but that’s about it. The street is great and the people are great. But the slightly wider area is a bit less pleasant. But the road is generally very peaceful and quiet, little traffic or people.

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

Well at the start but often with very poor communication. Not knowing when people were coming and then them just turning up.

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

The state of the garden, it was a very steep rubble covered slope which was meant to be smoothed and with topsoil.
