Simple Life at Fornham Place, IP32

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

Its a good location to be, great areas for dog walks, very close to the A14 and local supermarkets. Traffic noise is minimal and not really had any issues with anti social behaviour

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

They've responded very quickly to the issues, however some have taken a very long time to get resolved, the property alarm still out standing (reported in October 24)

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

Had I known the area seems to be designed for military occupants, I would have likely looked elsewhere as I feel this is what is hiking the rent price up.

My home is in a lovely area with only downfall being no local shop. However it does sound like there is planning going ahead for this to be resolved. Transport was great with our own private bus however this has now been replaced with a council bus service that I have yet to use so I’m unable to comment it. As for my street it is very quiet, bin collections are regular (although the area they are collected from is not ideal as it right beside the parking space for my house and bins often get blown into the side of my car. I have raised this issue with the man that inspects the properties and he has forwarded the issue but as yet no response.

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

They respond and have any defects fixed in good time

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

I was not informed about the need to set up a standing order to make my rental payment and that really bothered me and it took several days for the customer service to send me the information I needed

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

The location is very convenient, only a few minutes each way to a supermarket, store or the town centre itself. While being close to these it remains quite and peaceful at all hours. Very nice place to stay

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

They have been very quick to get contractors arranged and attending. Only suffering minor issues like a faulty smoke alarm and light fixture.

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

My only complaint if any, was that the walk around video wasn't as accurate as the actual property. Though the bits missing are very minor, it would have been nice to know about them before hand, so it could be arranged and resolved quickly

It’s has a lot of green and playgrounds for kids. Street is quiet although we don’t really know our neighbours

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