Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
I think it’s just the bin store which Muhammad has really been up and doing. Stones,it gets messed up and there was a time I had to take time to clean it. I will say a Camera should be fixed there to be able to check for those who don’t dispose off their waste correctly. The sight of a cctv alone will make people do the right thing
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Immediately any problem is logged,it’s picked up immediately
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Well,there are some network service providers which does not work here which may be cheaper than the one we have

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
We have been living in S1 for 9 months now and we couldn't be any happier. We have everything walking distance, from nice pub and restaurants to big supermarkets and the Moor market with fresh produce every day. There are several bus stops literally outside the main entrance and the train station is only a 10 min walk away. Pound's Park (our local park) is absolutely stunning in all seasons and very convenient to walk our dog every day. Despite all of this, the traffic noise is pretty much non existent. There is some anti-social behaviour, particularly at the weekend.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Issues are raised via an app and a maintenance appointment is scheduled at the earlier opportunity. All our issues have been resolved quickly and efficiently.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I had known that it wasn't safe to park my electric moped outside on the street. I asked KW to park it in the gated courtyard as a small favour but my request was rejected. My moped was vandalised and stolen so I wouldn't advise anyone to park their bike outside, even if it is secured with locks.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Perfect location in city center, modern flats, can be a little bit noisy when there are Sheffield marathons and the odd drunk people shouting, but usually fine
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes, Jessica the Senior Consultant on site is usually very helpful
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
That the building only runs on one meter and that they would attempt to charge us for the whole building's excess energy usage, despite the contracts explicitly stating the limits of our specific flat.
