Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Well situated in Brighton near the station and North Laine! No parking on site available sadly and the bin chute has been closed down. I really a nice area and convenient living experience.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The upper management seem very difficulty to get in touch with and work with - but the on site team are brilliant and quick to respond to issues
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
One good thing I wish Iād known is how great the gym and co working space is! And itās included in your rental fee. One bad thing I wish Iād known is how last minute a lot of the move in admin is with higher up management at York and Elder, you only receive your tenancy agreement a few days before moving inā¦

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The local area is great, really good proximity to the station. I commute to London twice a week so this has been a big factor for me! London road has everything you need, and Preston Park is only a short walk away so there is good access to shops and green space.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
I have not raised any issues of my own but have experienced some building-wide hot water shortages. I think these have all been handled relatively well and sorted promptly. Given how frequent these are, it might be worth having a 24/7 monitor of the boiler that alerts staff directly so the issue can be resolved quickly.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I only recently joined the WhatsApp group despite moving in a while ago - wish I had known about this sooner! Itās super useful and a very friendly community.
Manager response

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The gym is very modern and the terraces are incredible! The team are always happy to help and the co-working area is a bonus! Murdell has been a Godsend and super helpful in settling me in by hanging my pictures and curtains. Location is so central. Could not recommend living here enough.

Super quick. No issues at all and really impressed. Good system too.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I can't actually think of anything at the moment I am really happy.
