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

Bin collection is not good. The room is always so full and smells terrible. I wish there will be some bins outside that we can use for the little bags at least for recycle (bottles, pizza boxes etc) . I don’t wanna work with the homebox also, I wish it would be another company that doesn’t charge us that much

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

They responded at first but didn’t solve it with the follow ups. So it was poor

Best location I ever lived in Hove. Steps from hove station and near George street and surrounded by market places nearby. Bus stops to get out and about as well.

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

Prompt reply and very supportive all the way. If they don’t have the answer they always advise others sources

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

Only thing is that took a while until they sort out a gym but the opening hours are not quite flexible

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

I prefer living with lower car accessibility as it reduces noise and makes more space for pedestrians. Bin collections are slightly too far between which leads to overflow on occasion. Anti-social behaviour is rare for a city with occasional noise at night.

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

When this led to a leak there was a bit of a wait for repairs owing to availability issues for the plumber but the resultant damage to both the pipes and the walls and door frame were quickly repaired afterwards. Everyone was polite and helpful through the entire process.

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

There are a lot of children in the building. They are usually very well behaved, but as I live on the first floor there have been occasions with children knocking on my door and/or being loud in the halls.

Not really had many problems . Only minor . However still waiting for decor that was due to be done just after we moved in . But understand there have been issues with contractors to do this . Circumstances beyond control . I believe .

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

There is a choice to either keep one to themselves or join in with the choice community fun activities . I dont think anyone could be or feel lonely here .

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

The location is very nice and really close. You have everything you need. However, parking availability is really low and hard but other than that it’s really good.

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

They try to take immediate action as much as they can.
