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 I first moved in I was really impressed with the new modern house, the neighbourhood, and all of my neighbours. I think the builders were quite responsive to maintenance issues. Unfortunately we have to push them a few times to get certain repairs done. There are some major issues that I'm awaiting feedback on such as issues with the foundations on my building. Right now many of the neighbours are concerned about the yearly rental increases above inflation and the yearly service charge increases which have gone up from £6 in the first year per month to £60 in the second year per month, to now £165 per month. We're in the process of forming a residence association to combat some of these unethical corporate practises. I would say very clearly stay clear of Peabody and Catalyst as my initial positive sales experience has been soured by their corporate practises.

Don't really any have feedback on the building and property maintenance, can't speak to what the maintenance fees go to as I'm not here in the day. But it's kept clean and the carpets always smell nice. Building design is okay, nothing special in terms of appearance but the slight brick contract is nice. I like the layouts and it's nice having a balcony and big windows.

The building is well managed there is ample parking and the grounds are nice in storage and bike storage are good, the halls are not air tight however by design and so insect life often finds a way in. There is an issue with some things such as lights not being fixed but it is done eventually

Newman is a great concept. Once its finished I think it has great potential to be a great living area. The development is big, however very spacious. Looks like there will be a lot of greenery around. Bike storage and electric cars spaces are a great addition

I really like the design of the houses. They are built over 2 floors and the stairs are not steep at all. Provision of up to 3 toilets and two bathrooms is quite thoughtful and comes in handy for a large family. Massive kitchen, makes it easy to store food in one place. The landscaping of the back garden is nicely done, I was really impressed with it. Quite difficulty to get the property management as they seem to be busy but hopefully, this would change with time
