Oasis Residence , LS2

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

Very good location. Tesco right at the bottom of the building which was extremely useful for late night grocery runs. Extremely close to city centre and universities. Everything within a walking distance.

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

Generally very very good with responding to any issues or problems that may arise. There’s a maintenance portal and generally queries were addressed in 10 days or less. Some queries which according to the system are classified as non urgent can be expedited by talking to the management. Initially when I moved in, this wasn’t the case and I really had to push them to atleast get a liveable space. But throughout the rest of my tenancy I had a good experience.

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

I wish I knew the real condition of my apartment before I moved in. I was shown the video of another apartment with a similar layout. But I really wish I had seen the real condition of my apartment. I moved in 15-20 days after my tenancy started and had expected that since i have paid the rent for those days as soon as I arrive I’ll be able to start living. But when I arrived the apartment was so dirty, stained mattress extremely unhygienic and unusable. Sofa was stained, study chair was broken. Toilet was dirty. Induction was greasy. Some leaves under the mattress for some reason .

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

Very close to both universities and in front of a bus stop. Multiple supermarkets very close by as well as many shops and restaurants

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

It's quite close to everything, you're pretty much at the heart of the city center and you get the easy access to buses, train station and shops... The noise however is damning especially on Friday and Saturday nights.

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

Yeah, every issue raised through the portal system is treated with urgency

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

The apartment in itself is noise proof but not enough to save you.

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

Extremely noisy. Especially at night as it is next door to the O2 academy and other clubs. Close to uni and shops and train station.

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

Basically just denial that anything is wrong. Tell me the same things over and over.

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

That the hot water doesn’t work :) and they are not willing to fix it
