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.

Lovely area! But the houses are not the best quality I would be disappointed if I had bought the house we live in. I think the estate is perfect for children but there is nothing special about the design of the houses and they build them so quickly they can not be built well and you can see that in the brick work

A reasonably good site layout. Houses in general too close to road. Would be better set back. Gardens small and on sloping land. Groundworks generally poor requiring much improvement. House itself is nice. Good internal layout. Lots of space. Reasonable finishes. Site team very helpful.

well structured design, open space in the area and in homes, wheelchair accessible toilets, lockable cupboard. Easy to access facilities eg park and local supermarket. easy access to advice on owning / part owning new building. local community centres and shops, markets and libraries.

What can I say about Linden / Vistry Homes. This company flys the flag of being a 5 star house builder but they are not. New builds are a risk and come with a reputation sadly and unfortunately this company offer homes lacking in design creativity, quality components, average build quality and horrendous levels of aftercare. Never buy anything from this company only buy one that’s been fixed by the owner.

Saffron View in a good fairly well thought out development. There are lovely green open spaces, the houses aren’t too close together and there is plenty of parking (our 3 bed home has off street parking for 2 cars and there is a lay-by opposite). They are in the process of building a playground which looks good although not much for children under 5/6. One negative point is that very little thought has been put into wheelchair navigation around the site. For me to get to the new park I have to cross the road about 8 times as, apart from the driveways, there are next to no dropped pavements and the pavement runs out in a couple of places forcing me across the road. Linden homes also aren’t quick to get stuff done outside of the actual house building. There has been a pavement blocked off for about 2 months forcing my children and I to walk in the road. This isn’t a massive problem as it is a quiet estate and most people drive sensibly. This greatest asset this development has is the community spirit. We have a resident Facebook page and everyone is very friendly. It’s quiet and within easy walking distance to town (about a 20 minute walk). I love living here.
