Gateway Plaza, S70

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

I like that there is a convenience shop downstairs open until 10on everyday, and a couple of bars and restaurants. Only a 7 minute walk to the bus and train interchange which is great, private car park is good too but it is £50 per month per space. There is little to no traffic noise however there can be occasional noise from the police station next door.

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

Ineffective, polite but ultimately useless as didn’t fix majority of issues. Took ages to fix the few that they did fix and we never got any compensation.

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

Property is lovely but management are terrible and parcels will get stolen

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

We are lucky to have lots of bars and shops around us however it isn’t extremely secure, it’s very dark entering the plaza at quarter 3, people can easily get into the apartments through the car park. Not much disabled friendly ways into the town

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

Okay hard to get ahold of but the building manager is new so I’m unsure how this one is

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

The lesser security in place and that the lift often breaks for long periods being in a wheelchair I am stuck in the apartment for weeks

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

It’s a good experience in living closer to the city centre where I can access all kinds of transportation and services. Shops and restaurants very closely available. I am very happy to live here.

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

Everything solved within a small period of time. Provides a better quality service at any time.

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

When l got the property it wasn’t cleaned and not well maintained. I had to raise again to the management to get everything sorted. I wish everything neat and. Clean once l moved to here.

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

The residential area is close to everything that you can think of making it ideally located. City center with a range of pubs, bars, restaurants ,University and the hospital are within walking distance. Tram and bus stops are less than a minute away.

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

Yes, it's all through online portal where you can log in issues and they get sorted

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

Overall a good property, I don't think there is more someone can ask.
