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

The overall area is quite pleasant, it’s filled with people coming in and out, especially since it’s near a college so it gets quite busy but not too much to the point of complaining. There’s a Sainsbury’s attached to the East building which is very very convenient. The city center is quite nearby coming in at around 10-15 minutes of walking which is a bonus. It doesn’t really get noisy around here, during certain hours it’s very calm which is much needed.

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

Sometimes they reply the day of but as of recently they’ve replied 1-3 days after the concern is issued which i don’t mind since it was never an emergency. they’ve always given me a straightforward answer if i asked a question or fix it right away if it’s a maintenance problem.

It can get quite busy and somewhat rowdy downstairs near the upper ground lounge area at certain times.

Very central, bus stop right outside. Apartment is finished very well in every aspect but most of all it’s such a friendly community where you meet people of all ages and all nationalities! All rooms are soundproof and quiet.

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

Response is very quick to any problems that need to be sorted!

Join all the moda WhatsApp groups as you need or that have your interest. Also realise there’s a lift near the big front steps for any disabled friends that would like to visit you! I didn’t know until 2 weeks after I moved in.

There is a Sainsbury’s downstairs which is open until 9 every night (including Sundays) which is really convenient. For other shops there is an Aldi a 10 minute walk away and the complex is in the town centre so easy access to plenty of others.

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

We raised any issues using an online portal and somebody was found to fix the issue the same or next day.

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

There are always lots of building works going on in the area which can cause noise, especially Monday -Friday all year round. However the flats are very well designed to keep noise to a minimum and so this will be only be a minor issue for most people, especially 9-5 workers. However one of us works night shifts so often has to sleep during the day and this has been difficult at times. Whilst this is not the fault of Moda themselves, we were told the building works would only be going on over the summer when we moved in last June. It is now the following March and they have showed no signs of stopping. Also drivers should be aware that parking spaces cost £170 per month

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

The local area is very welcoming and friendly, with a good sense of community. There are plenty of useful local shops, supermarkets, cafes and restaurants nearby, making everyday errands convenient. There are also nice open green spaces and parks which are great for walking and relaxing. Transport links are good with buses and main roads easily accessible, making it simple to get around. The street itself is generally quiet and well kept, with reliable bin collections and a good level of parking available.

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

Building management have been responsive and helpful whenever any issues have been raised. They generally deal with things in a timely and organised way and keep residents informed when needed. It’s reassuring to know that any concerns are taken seriously and handled professionally.

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is how welcoming and friendly the community is. It’s a very pleasant place to live with respectful neighbours and a comfortable atmosphere. The area is well maintained and overall it has been a really positive place to call home.

Liked living in the hustle and bustle yet far enough away from it all to enjoy the quiet of the outskirts

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

As previously mentioned, it took 84 days for my fridge to be properly installed into a brand new flat. Additionally, the balcony crew was working on my deck for over a week and leaving stains on my toilet while I was not in residence. After emailing the front desk about their intended departure, I was told that there was no knowledge of anyone working on my apartment or who might be working in my residence. I found the lack of security frightening
