I wish I had asked more questions when it comes to a new build, I wasn't aware I couldn't decorate for a year which isn't a bad thing but just didn't wanna look at plain walls

As the village grows more is been built. We now have a Londis in the square which is very handy, 2 pubs within walking distance and plenty of parks, green spaces and lanes for walking the dogs The streets are narrow so when people park on the road and not on their driveway it makes it awkward to pass in certain areas Transport isn’t amazing with a bus service every hour so if kids miss the bus for school then they are late.

Good - location Bad - designed to cram-in as many units as possible. Parking - as you might expect some issues but not too bad. I always park on my drive, however some people are either incapable and/or too lazy. Traffic noise can be loud sometimes, but thats because there's some teenager's with a Nissan whos exhaust is hanging off, who think theyre in Tokyo drift, nothing anyone on the estate can do.

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

Overall they've responded well. However, my windows are obviously cheap as they have broke just outside of the warranty. Some don't open and/or close.

I didn't realise there was an extra management fee by Bournville. This is a reality of modern housing but also a BS one. I'm not sure what they do aside write some leaflets about sustainability and some pictures of happy people playing on the grass.
