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

The poor social life, they told me they were organising a few event a month, in 4 months, there was only one coffee morning organised … I moved to the city by myself so it was one of the most important factor for me to be in a building with social life. Very disappointed in this aspect. We can’t even meet our neighbours through a common social group.

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

Shops, pubs, and the like are very good. There are a lot of them and very close to the building. Though there are 2 disappointing things: bin collections and car parking. Bin collection is full very often! Re car parking, I do believe you should include it into the rent if you provide high-quality services. This is an essential part.

Excellent. Paul is the-best-of-the-best guy :) He does everything quickly and with high quality.

As for more, the parcel storage is the most frustrating thing currently.

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

It is very near to the city centre and just 5 mins walk to Moor market which is very convenient for grocery shopping. Also great transport link bus stop just 5 mins away tram station & train station 10-15mins away. It is so accessible and convenient.

They very responsive and quickly get the things done. The house keeping staff and maintenance staff are very good at their job and very polite.

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

The issue with the car parking. We knew that we had to get monthly membership from the private car park which is beside the building but sometimes it is difficult to get a slot.
