Local express stores around 7-10 minutes away, canal view apartments are lovely the natural lighting and nature view is great. Many bins which is great,

Not well, issues that were raised were not met with timely responses, lack of support towards the fact I had 2 costly parcels go missing.

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

I wish more accurate & clear communication in terms of bills and costs had been presented so we could make more accurate financial decisions based on our current financial position.

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

Decent amount of local shops, not so many bars and restaurants however. Transport isn't bad, the train station is a walkable distance. However, buses aren't as good, not convenient to get the bus into town. Bin collection is very regular and the area itself is quite quiet.

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

The few times there have been issues with our flat and we have contacted maintenance they have taken ages to respond. At times, we have received an answer 2 weeks after the job was meant to have been done.

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

The appartment was not as furnished as one would it expect it to be. We were given the bare minimum (e.g missing bin, tv, hoover, coffee table, kettle, toaster, microwave...)
