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.

Units are small but could be nice if not for poor residents and poorer management. Area feels unsafe. Parking is right under windows so it's noisy at all hours. Gated doors remain open so no security. Restaurants at the top of the street lead to rowdy drunks at the weekends. Police here often for anti-social behaviour.

Awful, the development is riddled with flaws from poor/ cheap materials internally and externally (visible mould/black on the external cladding) the internal walls can’t even hold a curtain pole. There is insufficient insulation for sound (and I’m guessing fire) which makes a difficult situation with neighbours on all sides and a serious concern concerning fire regulations. The flooring is cheap rubbish and the kitchens are dreadful, regular cleaning makes them look even worse.

It is disappointing. There was a fire and a flood, and we do not have our carpets and fixing the walls for more than 11 months. This is not acceptable. Unsafe building, poor materials, poor response. It is sad that I did not know this before buying it. If I knew, I would never buy it.

The fairview pulse development (which consists of 18 blocks) is completely and utterly a disaster! We have a B2 EWS1 rating, which means it does not meet the fire safety requirements. Which means residents cannot move out sell or remortgage their properties and this means residents are left in this horrible mess and feel trapped and unsafe in their buildings. They have used inappropriate cheap material on balcony's and lack of correct fire barriers between walls. Fairview have washed their hands and moved on making other disaster developments around UK. They should be the ones taking ownership of this mess.

Building design is good however management is not. Again with sewage and pest issues. Management take to long to solve these issues and it’s dangerous. Other than that the area is well kept in terms of litter and gardening. Transport and shop links are very strong
Manager response
We're sorry to hear there have been some issues but pleased you are happy with the location & design of the building and general maintenance of the development, thank you for sharing your views.
