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

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

Still figuring out the property, found vans dont switch off on switch and are always on i dont know if this is normal or wrong

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

There are virtually no shops or amenities around, making it very inconvenient for daily living. Furthermore, the local traffic situation is a nightmare. There is so much continuous traffic on the main road that trying to turn right coming out of the development is incredibly difficult and frustrating. You are completely isolated without the infrastructure to support it.

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

Management has been shockingly incompetent. I reported a massive leak under the sink and terrible water pressure to their emergency team on move-in day, and they did absolutely nothing. The aftercare team then emailed me a patronising tutorial on how to repressurise a boiler, completely misunderstanding that the mains water pressure is what is actually failing. They even had my address wrong in their own system so I couldn't report issues properly on the app.

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

I wish I had known to physically test the taps for water pressure before signing the lease, as it is currently unusable. I also wish I knew that a viewing booked 8 days in advance would consist of an agent leaving a door open for 30 seconds while they sit in a meeting.
