Maintenance reports or repairs are managed effectively

It’s located on a busy road on the high street but still very secure.

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

Located on High Street North, this flat is perfectly situated with Lidl, Tesco, and all essential shops just a short walk away—super convenient for daily needs. The apartment itself is impressively calm and quiet, offering a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle. Regular weekly cleaning and maintenance keep the place spotless and well looked after. Highly recommend for anyone seeking comfort, convenience, and a serene living environment.

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

The building management has been approachable and generally helpful, especially with routine matters like cleaning and upkeep, which are handled well. However, response times for certain maintenance issues could be improved, as they’re not always as prompt as expected.

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

Honestly, there’s nothing major I wish I had known beforehand. Everything has been pretty comfortable so far, and the flat has met my expectations well.

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

It’s near a lot of places such as supermarkets, parks and even the tube. However, streets are dirty and at night there are some dodgy people in the streets screaming.

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

They respond it very quickly when it comes to internal maintenance in our apartments. However, we have raised concerns about people’s parcels being stolen, about the tidiness of the premises and the maintenance of our communal garden and they simply ignore. They don’t even respond.

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

I wish I had known Populo Living was administering the building. That would be a major deal breaker.

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

The area is full of local shops and convenient chains. So it's very convenient. Unfortunately it can be run down and dirty at times.

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

Very slow to get in contact and respond to issues raised.

I would have liked to know more about how the property management treats those who live in their developments.
