Best flat ever!!!

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The development is at the heart of Preston Park. Local shops, restaurants and coffee shops are many for all the tastes. You can order and have it in your doorstep. If you fancy to walk Brighton beach is a mile away but there is a bus stop just outside to take you anywhere you like in the city. Train station is walking distance. If you are parents some of the best schools in Brighton are walking distance too.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management has responded quick and efficient to the most of my issues.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I am still in my first days of living here but all my family likes it a lot.

A Great Place to Live, Let Down by the Exit Process

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Nice local brewery near by. Very near the train station and easy to nip into the laines. New England road is a little rough.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Dan and his team are fantastic and go out of their way to respond to issues.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Despite me paying 4/5 of the rent and all bills it is my husbands name on the lease as i'm a full time student. I wish there had been better communication arround the possibility of using savings or paying upfront directly to Y&E. I paid my husband upfront for the rent for 11 months as i had understood to be on the lease had been calculated from earnings. This leaves me at my husbands 'goodwill' as he has another home in Manchester and i rented out my place in Brighton. I feel that had the move in team been more forthcoming with communications, arranging a chat etc, to establish if savings could be factored in or i could directly pay upfront this situation may have been prevented. Additionally we never saw the flat before moving in. We were shown a floor plan and into other apartments. The current aggresion adds another layer of frustration in what Y&E know is a difficult situation, and the aggression arround viewings really adds salt to this.

A stylish and welcoming home by the sea

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Hove Central is in a fantastic location — just minutes from the beach and Hove Station. There are plenty of nice cafés, restaurants, and shops nearby. The area feels safe and quiet, with good transport links and easy access to Brighton city centre. I’ve never had issues with noise or anti-social behaviour, and bin collections have always been on time.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
The building management has always been responsive, polite, and quick to help. Any issues I reported were handled efficiently and professionally. Communication was clear, and they always followed up to make sure everything was resolved properly.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I had known how warm the apartments can get in the summer — the big windows are beautiful but also bring in a lot of heat. Bringing a good fan is a must! Other than that, everything has been smooth and as expected.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Very local location, 10 mins walk to the beach and also fairly similar walk to central town and main train station
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Not really. Still lots of questions that have not been answered
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
That the service charge would be this much. They told us we would have access to gym and communal areas but turns out we don’t
