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

There was a limited amount of time that we could use the parking bay to move. I wish this was disclosed immediately and I didn’t need to probe for this info . There should be a separate email to set up WiFi, it should not be in the same welcome email. This runs the risk of the recipient not paying attention to the email or reading at all later date when action is required.

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

I wish we had known to set up the wifi before we moved in. I know this was sent with the welcome pack however with work, moving etc. it’s easy to forget to fill out a form online in all the excitement.

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

Overall the local amenities are good. Onsite parking is very secure, no issues. Any traffic noise is blocked out by decent double glazing.

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

Overall it’s been a good experience, I waited longer than I would have liked with some issues due to staff holidays which was a little disappointing.

Wellesbourne is located in the heart of Brighton, local shops just minutes away on foot the Brighton seafront and The Lanes just 15-20 minutes away on foot. There is a bus stop right outside which will take you anywhere you need to in the city. With a little one having Preston Park right opposite is perfect for the warmer days.

I’ve had no real issues so far but have been made aware if ever I need assistance then I can request through the app.

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

The signal in the building isn’t great, however there is WiFi in the reception area and WiFi is included in rent. I would just suggest setting your apartment WiFi up soon as you’re able to as it can take a little time.

We moved into our two-bedroom apartment at Wellesbourne on Preston Road a few weeks ago, and we’re absolutely loving it. The amenities are stunning—everything is modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed. The staff have been incredibly friendly and helpful since day one, which made settling in so easy. The views over Preston Park are beautiful, and there’s always something to do in the area—whether it’s a walk in the park, grabbing a coffee nearby, or exploring Brighton. One of our favourite things has been the social area downstairs—it’s a great space to relax or work from, and the resident socials that are organised really help you feel part of a community. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to move here!

Every efficient. I was able to contact the front office and maintenance via the Hestia app

One thing I’m really looking forward to is the possibility of there being a shop/cafe or gym on the ground floor of the building.
