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

I bave lived here for more than four years and have enjoyed my time at the market. Good location close to central Brighton and many workplaces, restaurants.

We have had a few issues in our flats, most of which were solved in a timely manner.

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

Rent prices do increases every year even for renewing tenants.

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

The good aspects include, being in central Brighton, which allows for quick access to shopping and the fun of the town centre. Disappointing aspect is that there are usually no larger stores around here. The bus stations are particularly close to the area, neither is the train station.

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

Yes always responded to all of the issues I’ve had. Only out of hours, parties are sometimes held and it’s difficult to tell them to be quiet as the key doesn’t allow you into that building .

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

As above. Quite a significant amount of students and student building nearby which can get quite loud

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

The local shops, restaurants, bars, and open spaces offer a good range and are convenient to use. I haven’t seen any unusual or anti-social behaviour, and everyone in the area has been polite. Bin collections are reliable. I don’t have a car, so I can’t comment on parking, but the street itself is quiet and pleasant. Traffic noise does happen at times, though it’s not a major issue and is generally acceptable. Overall, everything is good and I’m satisfied with living here.

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

They have been nice, helpful, and responsive whenever I’ve raised anything, and any issues were handled quickly and professionally.

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

I did good research before moving in, so there isn’t anything I feel I didn’t know beforehand. The reception team has also been very helpful, which made settling in even easier.

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

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

This is the first apartment I’ve lived in since moving to Brighton. It’s a good place. Bad part is opposite and surrounding it is just students. So many people smoking weed either on their balcony’s or downstairs. Neighbours are a hit and miss. Really rude, slamming doors or really polite and respectful. The people who work here are not bad. I felt like I moaned a lot, but given I pay nearly 2k a month, I moved in an apartment where I had someone’s stained dirty mattress, floor boards chipped, plug sockets coming out of the wall, a really old sofa (brought a new one) finally! All I can say is I’m happy I’ve moved to Brighton, but I would never choose to live here again knowing I’ve experienced what I have.

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

Not awful, taking longer than usual at times. But almost all the time I have a response to what they have done to sort it.

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

Definitely the standards of the apartment, knowing what we did, I’d never have payed the amount we did. Took so many pictures of just things that was not right, raps being tarnished and mouldy from day one of moving here. Almost the whole area is students and people smoking weed.
