Great area, just need some shops and amenities

Great Oldbury, GL10

Jan 2025

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

For such a big housing estate there are no shops or anything for convenience. Took a long. Time to get a park in. However the area is lovely, neighbourly and well thought out by builders. Our garden is a big size for a new build.

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

Wish we knew just got big the development would get, promised shops but still not in. Customer service is fabulous and a wonderful primary school on site.

What is the best feature of your home:

Home office and private garden are the best features

Nice place

Spring Wharf, BA2

Dec 2024

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

Great area, close to the shops and pubs and a 20 minute walk into town centre. The only downside is the availability of reasonably priced parking, but can't expect much living close to the city centre!

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

To be honest there hasn’t been any issues, everything has always gone very smoothly - anything you raise with the team gets actioned very quickly and efficiently.

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

Outdoor parking wasn't available when I moved in but I have been added to a waitlist.

The site is really close to the city centre. The transport links are generally convenient, with frequent bus and train services.

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

The building management is always ready to assist and help.

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

Spring Wharf, BA2

Dec 2024

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

Spring Wharf is in an excellent location. The shops are just 3 minutes away, and it has easy access to public transportation, including trains and buses.

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

They are very proactive and responsive and always looking for new ideas to improve. They organise events to bring people together and socialise which is great.

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

How quickly the management team responds to any issues. Their willingness to help at any time of the day have been a pleasant surprise. It’s a great addition to know we can rely on them whenever needed.
