The development its self is lovely, quiet and clean, but its built on the back of a busy warehouse. During peak periods expect to hear machinery from 6.30am

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

Better not lock down restrictions are not in place. Can take a while for a reply

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

We thought up sizing or moving developments would be a lot more streamlined than it is. There should be a fast track process in place as references and checks have already been done for the first property but still takes weeks of waiting and sorting before they can authorise you to move into the next property

The area is quiet which is nice. Great neighbours too. Parking is ok. It would be nice to have more local shops and particularly a supermarket as the closest one is a 10 minute drive away

We called out at the beginning of our tenancy for the heating and toilet and they were out quickly

(living in the galveston court apartment) good points : no traffic noise, modern, fairly clean roads. Bad points: tenants from the houses fly tipping in our bins meaning the bin men leave large items in the road (currently there is a pallette and a tv stand which looks unappealing, a few months ago we saw someone walk from their house and dump a trampoline!) this sometimes means when we are trying to bin our rubbish, there is no room. Some of the apartment tenants make a lot of noise outside during unsociable hours. They seem to be a large family therefore it can be intimidating to ask them to quiet down. this is a nuisance as it means you have to shut your windows to drown out some of the noise and this is not ideal in summer as the apartments get extremely hot - also not ideal when you have to get up for work early the next morning!

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

maintenence issues have been resolved promptly and efficiently

Before we moved in, viewings werent possible (only virtual ones online). We had noisy neighbours above us for a whole year and heard them on the first day we moved in. If we had viewed the property beforehand and heard this, we would never have moved in.
