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

The building is located close to local facilities,there are local shops around and most importantly, bus stop is just 5mins walk from the facility. A strategic location I would say. Although main big shops like Tesco’s etc are quite far off,but you could get basic items around the shops nearby. The post office is about 11mins walk, and the estate is practically safe for everyone so far my stay there.

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

They have been great,swift and reliable. I would give them a big thumbsup

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

Take pictures when you get in. The bathroom walls sometimes develop mould so speak up on time for it to be fix. The bathroom grout also gets mould from the constant moisture but sometimes it just need a higher increase of the ventilation. So always ignore your landlord to avoid further damage

Manager response

Hi Vivian, Thank you for your feedback! We're so glad you enjoy the design, location, and quick support. We appreciate your comments about the painting and ventilation and will work to improve these areas. If you ever need assistance, we're always here to help! Best regards,

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

Feels safe in the estate it gives a real sense of community all the residents are really nice. Kids able to play around the estate without a worry. Great access to the motorway, petrol station 2 minutes drive away which is ideal! The high street has butchers, convenience stores, hairdressers, take aways, cafe, park just a five minute walk away. We love it here!

Any maintenance issues are resolved very quickly without any stress

If you enjoy sitting out in the sun go for a property where you get the sun all day we are lucky it lasts untill 5pm but some get the sun all day! :)

Good estate, needs parking enforcing, run down area outside the estate

Bailey (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Scholars View, DH5

Dec 2024

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

The estate in general is kept clean, garden space maintenance is kept very good, most repairs needed are carried out promptly. The negatives are the outside area around the estate is quite rundown. Also within the estate people are not using their parking bays and instead parking up on the pavement, which makes it both dangerous for pedestrians and other drivers

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

When I first moved in and pointed out the many problems, the management were very slow in sorting them and I had to continually chase them, taking over a year to fix my door and it's still not great

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

If I'd known the rent was going to keep increasing year after year I'd certainly not have moved in, it's hardly in a prestigious area

Manager response

Hi Bailey, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re delighted to hear that you like the design of your bungalow, but we’re sorry to learn about the issues you’ve mentioned. I’ve shared your comments with the wider team so we can look into concerns like the outside area. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if there’s anything else we can assist you with - we’re always here to help. All the best,
