Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The area is fantastic, with loads of pubs and bars nearby, and only 5-10 minutes walk to BTN station.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Just today I asked for an extension on my lease by a few days due to terrible timing on my part, and it was granted no questions asked - despite it having already been leased! They instead chose to take on the extra work in a smaller time period, rather than make my moving out difficult. I’m exceptionally grateful for such consistently brilliant management.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Just how much having good staff in the building can impact your life. They’ve helped me fend off debt collectors (not my debt, it was a whole thing!), helped me deal with difficult utilities companies, been flexible with my lease duration and always with a smile. As a student living away from home for the first time, it’s meant the world.
Manager response
Dear Ben, Thank you so much for your incredibly thoughtful review, Ben. It means a huge amount to hear that your experience over the past two years has been such a positive one. We’re delighted that you’ve enjoyed the design of the building, the communal spaces, and the location, but most of all, your kind words about our team truly mean the world to us. Creating a welcoming, supportive environment is exactly what we strive for, so hearing how much the staff have helped during your time here, especially while living away from home for the first time, is incredibly rewarding. We’re especially pleased we could make your recent lease extension as stress-free as possible, and we’ll be sure to share your feedback with the whole team. Stories like yours remind us why we do what we do. Thank you again for your recommendation and for being such a valued part of the community. We wish you all the very best for your next chapter! Warm regards, Your York & Elder Community Team

The area is extremely well connected with Brighton station a stones throw away, the lanes only 15 mins and the beach 20 mins.

Very fast communication with kindness and professionalism. A joy to speak to.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Great apartment!

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
It’s a great place to live—there are supermarkets like ALDI and Sainsbury's nearby, and the station is very close too. The garbage area is kept very clean, and there are no bad odors. It’s also close to nearby parks, including Preston Park, making it an ideal place for raising children.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
During the rental process, they were very considerate and accommodating, even proposing options such as a one-time rent payment. A concierge is available 24 hours a day and was quick to assist whenever issues arose, such as when my key card stopped working.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I would have appreciated having more detailed and clear information beforehand, such as photos showing the view from the apartment and the layout.
Manager response
Hi Hajime, Thank you very much for your detailed and thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear how much you’ve been enjoying your apartment and the wider community. It’s wonderful to know that the design of the building, along with the views and natural light from the large windows and terraces, has made such a positive impression. We’re also pleased that the shared spaces and ground-floor facilities have supported your day-to-day needs, including working from home. Your kind words about our concierge and team are greatly appreciated. We’re glad they’ve been able to assist you promptly and make your experience, especially arranging everything from overseas, as smooth and reassuring as possible. It’s great to hear that the location, nearby amenities, and green spaces like Preston Park have added to your experience as well. We also appreciate your feedback regarding clearer pre-move information and visuals, this is very helpful and something we will continue to improve. Thank you again for your recommendation and for choosing to be part of the community. If there’s ever anything further we can assist with, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Warm regards, Your York & Elder Community Team

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Fantastic location. Close to all the shops and just a short walk into Churchill Square and to the station which is perfect. Bus stops taking you into town is a 2 minute walk away too. Even though I back onto the station it’s very quiet when doors closed
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
I’ve had no issues myself but they respond quickly to any general issues and keep us all well informed
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I can’t think of anything as I asked everything I needed to before I moved it but just go for it. It was the best decision I made
