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

The access to local shops is fine, only a short walk or drive to the nearest stores or supermarkets, our house luckily is far enough away from the main road that you don't hear the traffic, however I wouldn't like to live close to the front of the development as the main road is very busy.

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

The company are terrible to deal with, luckily most of the issues with our house have been minor, but I dread to think if we had something seriously wrong with the house, how long it would take for Avant to resolve the issue

What is the best feature of your home:

The open plan living space in the living room/dining area

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

Good local shops, restaurants and takeaways. Variety of pubs and parks. Good bus service at end of street and Alfreton train station a 10/15 minute walk away. I have had no issues on my street. Parking can sometimes be an issue. No traffic noise.

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

Response has been slow for some issues, and only done for up to 2 years after moving in.

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

If buying from new - get a professional snagger and report problems by month 18 to get them completed.

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

Area is well kept, clean, and safe to live in. However Chilton is one road in and one road out. This means there is not much to do within walking distance. This may change as developments keep popping up between Chilton and Ferryhill.

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

Initial snags, perfectly. The garden turf issue - they just ignore us (contractors not Avant Homes). Going to speak to Citizens Advice probably as this has gone on for months.

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

Nothing - we love our home, only disappointment with is all is the garden issue mentioned above.

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