Weavers Yard, RG14

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

Weavers Yard is an absolutely perfect location situated in Newbury Town Centre with Newbury Station being less than a 2 min walk away, the main high street is less than 5 min walk away with plenty of Gastro Pubs, bars, fine dining all on the doorstep! For someone who doesn’t drive and work mainly in London this couldn’t be better with only a 40 min train into Paddington. There is the usual town noise which is never an issue especially when the windows are closed you'd never think you were this central.

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

Building management have been really on the ball, things always do arise but it’s handled professionally and in a very timely manner so couldn’t ask for more!

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

I think it would be dont necessarily judge how it might be living here, this is not your typical private landlord there are so many aspects like the on site team, the facilities in the offices for meetings and socialising that you just don’t usually get and how it really does feel like a community, with so many apartments here there are lots of people but most people are really friendly and I don’t feel youd get that with a build like this.

Excellent location with access to the town centre, trains and a road network that sits at the crossroads of the south.

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

Response from the managers has always been swift and concerned to get things right. The sticking points come with their efforts to secure contractors which is much less in their control.

Yes, they are very responsive and supportive when I have contacted them.
