Simple Life at Stanley Park, ST6

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

Nice development with a walk to shops and a 10 minute walk to town centre with bars etc. quite noisy with traffic on the main road but the estate is generally quieter

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

Yes, we had an issue with our front door which was an urgent issue and somebody was here within the hour

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

Keep on top of the white paint in the house as it does get grubby with it being a matte finish

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

Close to town centre and local shops, all tenants keep to themselves and do not disturb anybody.

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

Most have been fixed with in a good amount of time, some not so much

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

Nothing I wish we knew before moving in

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

I have lived in the local area for many years so it was good for me to have the opportunity to live in a new build house close to family and friends. There is a Morrisons local around the corner aswell as a local pub and a couple of takeaways. 5 minutes up the road is the town centre with bars and restaurants. There is a train station in the opposite direction, again just a short walk away. We all have our own drives so no issue with parking. Everybody in the estate respects each other and ensures any noise is stopped at the cut off time of 11pm. It would have been good to have a green area with a small park for the children on the estate.

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

Yes, I have been able to easily report these through the app and had an email response almost immediately

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

I found the pictures of the rooms to look smaller on the website photos than they are in real life so that was a bonus. It would have been good to be able to actually view the priority prior to moving in.

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

Good location, and good shops near by that area easy to reach by car & foot. Available parking is good.

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

Not dealt with things quickly, even though they are urgent they have no urgency about them although the problems could have seriously hurt someone in the house. Take a while (4 weeks) to respond to a reported issue.

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

Would have been good to get info from handing over the keys, he just gave me the keys and left. Take pictures of water / gas meter etc, how to order the bins, when the bin day is.

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

The street is very peaceful and has a diverse range of people. Just around the corner is a Morrisons local that you can get most things from. Parking isn’t too bad…no traffic noise and as of yet no antisocial behaviour

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

The one issue we raised was fixed really quickly and efficiently

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

I understand why but it would have been nice to of seen the property abit more in advance.
