Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The location is convenient. Very close to public transport spots such as train stations and bus stops. 5 minute walk to the city centre all whilst passing through the beautiful north lanes
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
I had an issue with my shower. When I mentioned It to the security guard Mason he made sure to tell the maintenance man and fixed it within the week
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish the barbecue on the terrace was able to be used like advertised
Manager response
Hi Sadeem, I hear you about storage space - it's a struggle in the UK with our house sizes and can be something to adjust to! That said hopefully the built in wardrobes, hallway storage and utility cupboards go someway to helping. Glad to hear you are enjoying your stay here and look forward to seeing you at some events over the year.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Absolutely love living in this part of the laines. The college opposite is quiet on weekends, and the vicinity of coffee shops and lovely food places is unbeatable!
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Well and swiftly - we have always been helped with anything needed!
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Good or bad, any insights which you couldn't get from a typical viewing or tips you would share with a new neighbour are highly valued by our community.
Manager response

The location is perfect, everything you could want or need is right on your doorstep. I think it’s the right balance between the bustle of Brighton and a quieter place

It used to be a little slow to get things fixed, but the last couple of months have been improved greatly
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
That I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else but here!

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Close to Sainsbury’s and aldi, and walking distance from Preston park. Easy to get to the train station (6 minute walk).
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes-they are prompt in resolving issues and if not immediately fixable they provide an accurate estimate of the timeline.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Bike storage is a useful extra, it’s worth having a dog friendly building in case you decide to get a pet in the future.
Manager response
