Heyfields, M28

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

Local shops, fast food restaurants and pubs are all very nearby. Transport links by bus are very accessible and close by. Parking availability is good. Bin collections are good and regular. Very child-friendly neighbourhood with lots of children around. Traffic noise is not too bad. Behind the development there is a run down building which ruins the asthetic of the area but the business in and around that building are useful as there is a garage and also a car wash.

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

They respond in a timely manner so long as you give them notice but don't seem to offer quality enough replacements for kitchen appliances.

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

The size of the bedrooms and what size beds are needed for each room.

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

The area is located next to many convenience stores, including a Tesco Extra. A Wetherspoons and other pubs are also nearby. The site sits next to Blackleach country park, which is picturesque. Public transport is easy to access, with a bus stop just outside the development, and a train station within 15 minutes walk.

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

Fixing parts of the flat that are not the tenants fault is easy to get done through management. Help with other problems is poor, however.

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

How thin the floors are, how hot it gets during the summer.

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

Perfect for those who want to live near to the city centre but slightly on the outskirts. Transport links are fine. Shopping centre less than 5 minutes distance. Good community.

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

As it is our first new built house we didn’t know that the house is settling. And this settling is generates so many small issues, like cracks on the walls, on the floor, on the door frames...etc. And when you try to sort out these issues the developer counts the millimetres to avoid to resolve these issues. So at the end you have to do it all...

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

The property is leasehold so the only thing I would change to be freehold.

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

We love the location - we are in between the hustle and bustle of the city and the country, which means that we can go for long walks in the woods next to our house and can go to our favourite restaurant in the same day.

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

The community is a mix of young families, professionals and retired.

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

I wouldn't have red brick building overlooking a side of the house and our garden.

I love this apartment because of the modern decor and the security. The shops are only down the road the bus stop also Down the road.restaurants are nearby.Only the thing I don’t like that too much complain came from downstairs for making noise when we didn’t make that.
