There is a Sainsbury’s downstairs which is open until 9 every night (including Sundays) which is really convenient. For other shops there is an Aldi a 10 minute walk away and the complex is in the town centre so easy access to plenty of others.

We raised any issues using an online portal and somebody was found to fix the issue the same or next day.

There are always lots of building works going on in the area which can cause noise, especially Monday -Friday all year round. However the flats are very well designed to keep noise to a minimum and so this will be only be a minor issue for most people, especially 9-5 workers. However one of us works night shifts so often has to sleep during the day and this has been difficult at times. Whilst this is not the fault of Moda themselves, we were told the building works would only be going on over the summer when we moved in last June. It is now the following March and they have showed no signs of stopping. Also drivers should be aware that parking spaces cost £170 per month

Good Aspects: Amrit in the leading team has been excellent. From initial contact through to in life queries, she has been absolutely outstanding particularly with regards to her general approach and clear communication. Additionally the central location, secure underground parking and general design, amenities and standard of furnishings is excellent. Finally the repairs and maintenance particularly Kit and the reception and concierge team are also excellent and very welcoming. Areas for improvement: Not sure how often the hallways on the actual floors are cleaned. There is some heavy staining to the carpets- which I understand happens over time however the hallways need to be cleaned more often. Others residents often leave rubbish lying around which includes the ground floor stairwell. The management I think need to send out a very strongly worded communication telling them that this behaviour is not acceptable and that the CCTV is being monitored and those responsible will face consequences. This is not a student accommodation. Finally, I appreciate that it’s a pet friendly building but it smells like wet dogs around the development which is not particularly nice.

Yea they have. So far very responsively too. The repairs and maintenance team are excellent particularly Kit.

Overall living in Moda is good and convenient. Good side is that Sainsbury is downstairs and bus stop, town centre and playhouse is also nearby. Bad thing is that only Sainsbury is only an available option, if including few more would be better and if there are coffee shops and restaurants nearby would be much more nicer. The chair in the study room a lot of it are broken and it would be nice if there are another study room.

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

It’s generally quick. Usually respond within a week but occasionally respond more than a week

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

The furniture such as curtains are very good quality as it’s protected from the light. But the chairs in study room a lot of it are broken. The lift is out of use frequently
