Spring Wharf, BA2

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

The location of spring wharf is perfect. For me, I am close to family and a short walk away from the train and town- it ticks every box!

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

Quickly and professionally. They are always very polite

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

It would have been good to know that the previous WiFi service wasn’t disconnected by the last tenant which caused problems for days after I moved in. Knowing a bit more about guest parking would have also been useful! I really would have liked the co working space, it’s a shame it’s not available

Very convenient! It is close to Lidl. There are many buses to go to the city centre and both U of Bath and Bath Spa U. A lot of undergrads live on the other side of Lower Bristol Road (can be good or bad).

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

Yes!!! They responded to my requests very quickly.

I wish I knew the council tax band (but I should've asked).

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

Bath is a very pleasant place to live, with good access to independent shops, cafés, restaurants, pubs and open spaces. The city centre is within walking distance, and there are good rail links to Bristol, London and the wider South West. Local buses are available, although reliability and frequency can vary, especially outside peak routes. The immediate area is convenient, particularly for access to the city centre, river paths and local amenities. The main drawbacks are parking pressure, traffic at busy times, and some noise from nearby roads, construction or building works. Bin collections are generally manageable, though communal waste areas can become untidy if residents do not use them properly. Overall, it is a convenient and attractive area, but not without the usual city-centre pressures.

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

Building management have generally been approachable and responsive on day-to-day issues, especially the on-site team. However, larger problems involving external works, noise, disruption or compensation have often taken longer to resolve, with communication that can feel reactive rather than proactive

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

I wish I had known how hot the flats can become in summer, and how much external noise affects day-to-day living. The road is loud, Roseberry Studio can create late-night party noise, and the temporary fire station adds further disruption. I would also have wanted clearer information about the duration and impact of scaffolding and external works before moving in.
