Hove Central, BN3

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

Hove Central is in a really convenient area with a good selection of everyday amenities nearby. There are supermarkets and local shops within walking distance, as well as plenty of cafés, restaurants and places to go out around Hove. Hove Park is also close by, which is great for walking, exercising or simply getting some fresh air. Transport is one of the biggest advantages of the area.

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

The building management has always responded quickly and professionally to any issues I have raised. They are friendly, helpful and make sure problems are resolved efficiently.

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

Everything I need is close by, the transport links are excellent, and the building is well managed. I have had a very positive experience and there have been no major surprises or problems.

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

The location of Moda Hove is a short walk to bus stops that are regularly running to Brighton. You are about a 10 minute walk from Hove Park's green space, and, in the other direction, about a 10-15 min walk to Blatchington and Church Roads, as well as the seafront itself. Bin's are collected regularly and there is bin storage rooms to disgard your recycling and glass, as well as bin chutes on your floor for household rubbish in bags. Parking availability can be an issue - permits can be purchased from Moda (though there was a waiting list when I resided there), and so I parked my car at the neaby NCP at Hove Station, which worked out cheaper.

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

You can whatsapp or visit the front desk and they can send an engineer if on site, or arrange one - any issues are generally solved in a very short time

I can't think of anything! Just go and explore everything Hove has to offfer!

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

Only been here 3 weeks and the facility overall is excellent. A parking space would be preferable but totally understand that most people want one and a waiting list is pretty normal as a newbie. Having lived in Aldrington Avenue for over 20 years I understand the availability of local transport and stores/supermarkets. All of the Staff have been great, namely Mike, Ella, Ellie and Shannon. Met some great people too.

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

I haven't had any issues. I have only been here 3 weeks and the one I had was a query regarding the installation of Sky which was resolved quickly.

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

There isn't anything that I didn't know as I had researched it properly.

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

Residential neighbourhood. Aldi and Lidl 5 mins walk away. Hove park close by too. Excellent bus links to city and train stations

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

Broken automatic doors make access a significant issue for disabled residents

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

The App is unavailable for many people and glitchy for others who can get on. This should be fixed

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

Excellent location with easy access to an array of shops and bars plus a short walk to the beach and Hove Park which is amazing. Bus and rail services are also on the door step

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

Great response times and the team members are on-site so no remote landlord issues or waiting on calls for hours on end
