We believe the best information about a residential development comes from the people living there. Owners and tenants have a lot of useful information to share with their prospective neighbours, not just on the property itself and its locality, but also on the developer and the building’s management.

The appearance and the design of this development are excellent. The ceiling of the house is exceptionally high, makes you feel airy and spacious. The colour of the houses integrates into the surrounding area, giving you a harmony feel. But there are a lot of issues found in the house itself. The insulation inside the house is very bad, it is freezing during winters if you stay at the top floor of the house. The floor tiles in the bathrooms are dodgy. The tiles are not placed steady and the fillers between the tiles are missing. Door locks are badly installed as well.

Nice sized development set in a brilliant location combining direct access to countryside via the Downs Link and a train station with direct trains to London. Friendly neighbourhood. Only negative is the property could have been built with better sustainability features. Overall, great place to live

I found the houses are quite small and not designed very well. We have no storage, and sockets are in unusual places. The paint work and the overall finish of some of the work has not been done properly. Since we have moved in, we had a quite a few issues with the TV signal(we had no TV signal for first 5 months) leaks and big cracks on the wall.

The development is modern and nicely designed. Lots of green space in the area. The rooms are spacious with a big lounge, bedroom and bathroom. Enjoyable to live in. Hyde housing have been excellent at fixing any snagging issues I had since I moved in with minimal fuss.

The kitchen appliances are the only good aspect I can say. Other than that, nothing impresses me. The fridge was not working when we moved in. It is because of the wrong installation at the very beginning. The toilet bowl in the en-suite bathroom got a big crack. I am surprised the development is still let go. Almost all the door handles in the house are flimsy. We need to fix them every single one. Public/common areas in our development are just a mess, no gardening or lawn mowing at all until we complained many times. But our management fee was doubled after just a year. Their after sales customer services is the worst department I have ever experienced. We had to wait for ages for their reply, and they never gave us a positive response.
