A major positive aspect of living in this area is that it had great transport links. Since moving in, my car has had to go to the garage twice and commuting to work was still very simple. I like the fact that the 92 bus is a 2 minute walk from my flat. Another positive aspect is the retail park just around the corner. It has a variety of different shops which is really convenient. Near the station there is also a Tesco Express, which is handy as they stay open later. One of the downfalls is that street parking near the flat is fairly difficult and sometimes other cars/ motorbikes park quite selfishly, but on a positive note, there are some roads a bit further down which offer free parking which is handy.

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

I had an issue with lighting and I got a response straight away from customer service, however no one has contacted me since to actually get it fixed.

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

I wish I had known how hard it is to park on the main road and possibly would have paid more to get an allocated parking space in the underground parking.

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

The only issue living here is the truck depots near by, it’s noisy in the mornings. The west way shopping centre is only a 8 min walk away and is so convenient

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

They have responded within 24hours and has always pointed me in the right direction

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

How to work my electricity meter and heater monitor - I wasn’t shown exactly how to

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

The area is beautiful itself with the canal on the side, people kayaking, nice natural park near by. Problem is that Oldfield Lane North is super noisy, lorries, vans 24/7 in from of the window without any speed limit (should be 20 but no one follows this rule) Therefore road is not very safe to cross or walk by with the kids. And parking is a huge problem in whole area. People parking their card literally everywhere, on pavements, grass.

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

Didn't found any issues yet what can be fixed and didn't wrote any email yet to manager

I would share with future resident the smell what is coming from the warehouses, as they cooking food and sometimes it gets really intense. Also I would be happy to know that ventilation works that way that I can feel my neighbours smoking cigarettes and smell comes through time to time. I would be happy to know that house is super warm even I'm winter and doesn't need so much heating on. We were well surprised with this.
