We believe the best information about a residential development comes from the people living there. Owners and tenants have a lot of useful information to share with their prospective neighbours, not just on the property itself and its locality, but also on the developer and the building’s management.

The design makes sense for the area. Some larger through roads with smaller tucked away cul de sacs. The houses are very uniform which results in a lack of character but that is the case with any new build development. Facilities to date aren't great but the development isn't yet finished and residents have been made aware of new parks, shops and bus stops that will be added at the final stages. That said, Highwood is conveniently situated next to a large shopping mall with other larger shops around. Building management on the whole have been sympathetic to residents as on going building takes place. I have also been impressed with the quality of the builds but I'm aware that's not the case for everyone. I am not directly involved with the property management company but I am aware that fees are extortionate and at present aren't justified given the small amount of maintenance that takes place around the development.

It would be a little nicer to see more greenery around the estate. More trees and plants planted. Would have be nice to keep an open space field or more parks. The design of the state the only thing I can fault is that u cannot cut through the etstate driving one side to another as you have put bollards in. It’s not very efficient but other then that it’s a lovley design

Have written to our management team with issues, they have been acknowledged but then ignored. roads are unfinished and appalling. Deadlines, set by bovis, not being met which is disappointing. Lack of usuable green space, which doesn’t seem to be a priority

The development is very up together tbh and have found no issues with anything at all. Everything is inviting with two local super markets and further is the mall and other large outlets. It’s safe to say the area is improving a lot with lots of other developments happening and other gateways beginning to show

Great location and development! Not really good design outside but no choice. Garden fences are not good secure and poor quality and look like being just put because it needed. Colour of the house is a bit not what I expected as the advertising was completely different than the reality.
