There is a grocery shop just next door with lots of stuff in it which is great. Train station is very close as is the town centre. Grest location

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

They respond quickly and do make an effort. Theres an app for maintenance stuff.

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

There are some friendly people here if you were hoping for a more communal space. Noise isn't too bad although does depend on your neighbours. If they are bad you can call reception at night and they can help you. There is a quiet hours policy.

Guildford is a great town. It's got everything you need, great bars, pubs and restaurants, as well as beautiful nature. I love it.

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

Very well. They have responded quickly and the maintenance guys are great

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

Temperature in the apartments is so hot. Invest in a decent fan

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

The area in which The Guild is located is nice, very close to the train station and within a 10-15 min walk from many supermarkets, shopping spots, pharmacy, and cinema. Small supermarket literally next door that stays open until very late as well.

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

Very quickly and efficiently. Haven’t had any major problems so far though.

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

Just bring a air conditioning unit. I would say this is the only flaw with the place: hot as ****, especially if you end up in a studio facing west like I did. Moved in during the July heatwave and the room was 33 degrees, air circulation isn’t great and there’s no built-in aircon. So trust me: buy it before summer starts. Oh, also The Guild needs to actually start enforcing recycling because NOTHING gets properly recycled there. Nothing at all, it’s truly a shame.

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

Where I live is very nice and convenient because there is a small market next to it and then only 8 to 10 minutes away. There is restaurant bars and other nightlife activities. there is parking available in the basement and there is a rubbish bin that is located in the ground floor and also the same company does meet ups for the tenants every week.

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

Yes, I contacted them in the beginning because the room was not very clean and the dishwasher was dirty. The next day they have sent me the home cleaner to clean everything again.

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

I knew everything that I was getting into before I move in, so therefore there is nothing that I wanted to know
