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 finish of the Hill properties at Marleigh have been very good. I think the design of the properties are very good (including my own) good user of space and a good finish. Property management has been good too around the local area. Good facilities on site with bike storage, parking and electric car charging.

A modern and nicely looking little village on the outskirts of Cambridge city centre with lots of green areas , parks , playgrounds. With a local school, nurseries, grocery shop and cafe it’s ideal for families with children. The neighbours are amazing too!

Roads are narrow, parking is a problem. Homes have poor outside landscaping, and it often feels like Hill has a 'we'll fix it later' attitude rather than getting things right first time around. They're upping the prices but lowering the quality. Shortcuts are being taken and it's just another cash grab for them. My house was riddled with issues, including maggots behind the plasterboard. Leaks in all the plumbing. Loose garden tiles. Constant issues that make my purchase difficult to live with. I would not recommend moving to Marleigh in Cambridge.

Now that the development is fully underway, Hill/Marshall can certainly be accused of rushing through builds. There was clear consideration during phase 1a, but it's apparent they're building at huge scale that they're getting sloppy – which is back up by new homeowners having more snagging issues that first occupiers.

The development is very aesthetically pleasing and the build quality is good. The planned green areas look great and the majority of the estate is well maintained. The management company for the flats is poor with slow replies, some rude staff and a lack of ownership over their role - blaming others for issues and not actively trying to resolve problems. The sense of community is generally great, however there have been more anti social incidents than I would have hoped - particularly, a lot of residents make the area very unwelcoming to dog owners (common areas advertised as being dog friendly being changed to no dogs without explanation, people with dogs being verbally abused by neighbours and offensive signs put up by residents about dogs toilet habits). The facilities are poor, with the local shop and cafe being promised for over a year but as of yet they haven’t started fitting them out. The community centre has some classes but they are all geared towards people who don’t work (mostly mid morning). Parking is an issue, for those who have reserved spaces it’s fine but the streets are full of subcontractors vans from 6am meaning is difficult for visitors to park on the estate and pathways are often blocked by cars and vans.
