Pleasant place to live

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

The development is still in the process of being built but the plan is that there will be more parks, shop and school so when this is complete this will be good. Transport out of the development unless you drive isn’t great.

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

We had a leak during our first few weeks here and the out of hours team simple life use were useless and quite frankly rude and not understanding in the slightest however when Monday came the simple life team sorted it out promptly so for that we are grateful.

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

We wish we’d viewed the property before - we were made to think that this wasn’t an option and had to go off the video viewing.

Love the house, but the area isn’t great. Roads are very pot holey, and people within the area aren’t friendly.

Very prompt & helpful. Haven’t had to raise any issues, but any queries were answered quickly.

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

Drakelow is a lovely place to live but is still lacking in terms of access to public transport, facilities and lacklustre walking routes

Josh P (Tenant)

Dec 2024

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

The overall experience is good, our house and so too our neighbours are lovely. However there are some glaring issues. Notably the nearest bus stop is nearly a half an hour walk away and the only walkable route in and out of the estate closes at 6pm. On top of this the taxi shuttle service is being removed as of today which is a great concern for those of us who rely on public transport to get to and from work. I hope these issues can be addressed as soon as possible.

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

Upon moving in to our property there was serious plumbing issues which required two days of work from our driveway. The plumbers and tradesman were all very polite and understanding of our problems and promptly sorted out issues.

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

That pedestrians access to the estate is shut off after 6pm every night with no alternative path to walk back into the community
