Leaf Living at Rushlake Meadows, BN20

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

It's a nice area. There is a shop 5mins walk away, pub and places to eat within 15 min walk. Close to a train station and bus stop. Really quiet development and nice space for kids to ride their bikes safely, with a playground being built. Enough parking for residents and visitors so there is no need for cars to park on pavements.

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

Really promptly. You can call up or use the app and they responded within 30 mins

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

I never knew how easy renting a property would be.

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

The area was known to us as we did not live too far away previously. We have not tried any of the pubs or restaurants yet. At present the development seem quiet and the neighbors we have met very friendly

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

They responded to the requests vey promptly and have passed them on to the people concerned. We are still awaiting them to be resolved though

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

We had quite a few viewings as the houses we chose were let before we could exchange on our property but they were all very informative with everything being shown and advised upon. I feel it would be better if the referencing could be undertaken before a property was secured as the two weeks end up being very stressful moving out of your old home and not knowing if the rental on the new one has been agreed.

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

It's a really good area. Quite place and a range of shops around. Our parking area is large that we can park two cars and two motorcycles. Lovely garden to make some bbq.

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

They are being really helpful with it and solving the problem very quickly.

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

That the water pressure was low and the cabinet under the stairs had no lights at all.

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

We only moved in a week ago so experiences are limited but it seems like a nice neighbourhood, our neighbours are all lovely. This is a construction site and so at times it’s noisy during the day and the cars are regularly covered in a fine layer of sand. Apart from that all seems well at this time.

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

They haven’t responded at the time of writing this review.

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

All prospective tenants are vetted before being accepted, it’s a shame that the same due diligence is not applied to the contractors that build the houses.

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

I only moved in 2 days ago so I have not had time to properly look into things. However, the parking is fantastic and have had no traffic noise

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

Have not had any to date except a minor problem with the front door which Ryan sorted within 30 minutes

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

Happy with everything to date. Would be very helpful to know bin and recycling collection dates as they weren’t available on Wealden District Council website
