A guide to living in Norfolk

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

It’s a great location and has good transport links, although public transport is limited but as you would expect from a small rural town.

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

Better knowledge of the air source heating system.

What is the best feature of your home:

Side by side driveway and the kitchen with island.

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

Our home is well situated for local shops and facilities in the town of Holt, also sheringham and Cromer both being a short drive or bus ride away. We have a private off road drive and garage at our property and have never been short of parking availability. There is no traffic noise in our part of the development. Anti social behaviour is very rare with only the occasional youngster not respecting normal expected ways of living sometimes just leaving waste on the footpaths when it would be easy to use installed bins.

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

If you were not mobile (having a car) the distance to large supermarkets would be a problem, there is a smaller supermarket in Holt but it has limited product availability and tends to be more expensive than national brands.

What is the best feature of your home:

Our house appears to be very well insulated and economical to run, cheaper power bills than our last house.

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

A car is required to access most shops, and bus links are minimal, but I believe this is due to the development being so new. Parking is great. Construction noise exists but is minimal due to great soundproofing within the property. Any issues regarding the ongoing nature of the project are made up for by the rental discount I received for moving in early.

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

I am early days so far, but all of my queries have been responded to very quickly with positive outcomes.

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

One thing I wish I knew before moving in would be that I needed to prepare my broadband access in advance. I was happy to use data on my phone while I negotiated providers, but I did not realise the mobile signal would be so minimal. Before my broadband was set up, I had to reach out the window to receive signal, which made the admin side of moving very difficult on my first week.
