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

Great location near the city centre - co working space, a shop and bar/restaurant all within the complex. Parking options could maybe be better but free short term parking is available. Close to train stations and trams but I mostly walk to places as it’s most convenient

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

Yes always quick to respond - there was one issue around payments but they resolved their end very quickly.

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

Maybe that there wasn’t a concierge in the building for post - but this has since been resolved and the post situation is much better but still is in a separate building

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

Not many transport links but a quick walk into town. Parking is quite secure but no spaces for visitor parking.

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

We have raised 3 issues, all of which were investigated quickly.

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

There is no immediate transport link, and it can be quite loud sometimes from the other buildings.

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

Good: Location and insulation Bad: Very expensive for what it's worth No perks with the price, majority of places around offer free gym membership No parking spot. 2 years waiting!!!!!

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

Yes they have always commented back and fixed the issues but the issue keeps coming back

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

2 years wait for a parking space, if you're going to build a block of flats ensure each flat has at least one spot each?

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

There a coffee shop, bar and co-op on site which is a great convenience as well as parking. Location to public transport is ok, with a 10-15 min walk to a train/tram stop. Sometimes there’s quite a bit of noice late night/early morning at the weekends but as expected

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

Yes they’ve responded within a day or even on the day itself

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

I wish I’d had known the location in terms of distance to trains and tram stops as well as the noise of developments close by
