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

Location of the site is fantastic. It feels very much an estate on its own. Communal spaces are well looked after and it shows that a lot of time and money was put in to making them look great.

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

Due to their being no window in the bathrooms. I’d advise new tenants to do everything they can to ventilate the room. A very small window would of been ideal.

What is the best feature of your home:

The large windows. They allow sunlight in, both keeping the house warm but also giving an uplifting feeling.

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

Lovely views, open aspect to front. Easy access to motorway and many quality restaurants and supermarkets.

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

If you don't know the area, do research before you purchase

What is the best feature of your home:

Good quality home. Unique in design. Really pleased with it.

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

There's a large selection of supermarkets all within around 10-15 minutes by car. The development is next to a farmer's field to the rear with sheep and cows. There's a bus stop on the main road by the development. Traffic noise is minimal although I can hear/smell the pet food shop when outside and there is a breeze.

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

New builds are more noisy than an older building, you'll hear fans whirring for ventilation etc but it becomes less noticable over time.

What is the best feature of your home:

The eco friendly features! Triple Glazing, Solar and EV Charging included as standard is a great addition.

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

Absolutely no good points to this site now. There's more social housing than privately owned homes now (not initially planned that way when we bought our home, very misleading). The site management is a joke, couldn't organise snags to be completed or even bother to show up on days they said they would. Every property seems to flood with the slightest bit of rain and Northstone don't want to hear about it. Almost 2 years living here and Northstone still haven't tarmacked the roads fully, they seem to dig everything back up a month later as things don't work again. The drains are still full of site rubbish and weeds, the list is endless of negative points. I which there was something nice to say as we live here but at the moment there's really nothing nice about this site.

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

How awful Northstone are at building houses and how much they lied to all their customers at the beginning as to how much of the site would be social housing (more social housing than privately owned now).

What is the best feature of your home:

The main road out off the estate!!! honestly we cant state what it is because there's nothing we like about our home now.

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

The estate is peaceful and serene with good access to the motorway which is particularly important. Public transport is easily accessible making it an ideal location.

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

Not sure this is a really tough question. I would probably say make sure you test everything when you move in e.g showers/electrical equipment to ensure it works fine.

What is the best feature of your home:

There are several features we are really happy with in particular the bathrooms and location of these, kitchen storage and the size of the garden shed.
