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.

When we first moved in it was unfinished. Covid struck and also problems with the planning. This meant a good year of delay with no building. They have restarted now and it’s very noisy. The road outside our home is uneven and unfinished (after 3.5 years!) we have complained to no avail. We had no complaints with getting things sorted in the house when we had snagging issues. Promised a walkthrough path to Aldi - still waiting 3.5 years on!

The hone design is unique and beautiful. Well planned, and great space as well. The garden seems very easy to maintain and the parking system works really well. Generous garage space for families with more than one car. Generally the building plan is amazing.

The builders were ery generous with the space in the house. The Low maintenance garden is a plus, not too bad parking spaces and the beautiful home design. I have easy Access to motorway and lots of schools in the area for my kids to choose. The balcony in my home was a plus.

The property is built to high spec and looks completely unconventional from other developments I've seen. The sorroundings are highly maintained by Tilia Homes with daily road cleaning and regular grass maintenance. Large sized garage.

Facilities-wise, a poorly-maintained playground is present on the original part of the development, but this is not easily accessible from the rest of the site. Additionally, allotments remain undeveloped and amenities such as a coffee shop remain unbuilt (we have been here for five years). Design- and location-wise, the development benefits from excellent transportation links, being sited just outside Derby city centre, just off the A38, and within easy distance of the national rail network and the M1. However, absolute no thought was given to access to the site at large. The Kingsway roundabout had lights installed at the beginning of the development - these were turned on twice, both times leading to traffic carnage that affected the wider transportation network and made access/egress to/from the site a nightmare. The lights remain inactive, not only meaning that traffic flow is not correctly controlled, but also making access to the site incredibly difficult and dangerous for pedestrians, given Kingsway's 40mph speed limit and lack of light-controlled pedestrian crossings. Property management has been an issue - the firm originally contracted to provide this folded shortly after we purchased in 2017, and management has since been undertaken by Kier (original developers) and Tilia (successors), but with no formal arrangement established with existing residents. This does not affect new build properties, but has caused extensive legal issues for those of us selling our existing properties.
