Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The building is located close to local facilities,there are local shops around and most importantly, bus stop is just 5mins walk from the facility. A strategic location I would say. Although main big shops like Tesco’s etc are quite far off,but you could get basic items around the shops nearby. The post office is about 11mins walk, and the estate is practically safe for everyone so far my stay there.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They have been great,swift and reliable. I would give them a big thumbsup
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Take pictures when you get in. The bathroom walls sometimes develop mould so speak up on time for it to be fix. The bathroom grout also gets mould from the constant moisture but sometimes it just need a higher increase of the ventilation. So always ignore your landlord to avoid further damage

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Most things are great, there's a shop across the road and a Sainsbury's daily down the road with a morrisons about 5 minutes walk away. A very nice pub very close to the area. About a 10 minute walk from the town centre. The area isn't the best, there was a lot of anti social activity a while ago with people running around the area and police pushing them back up towards our area.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
We haven't had any issues so far, but I'm assuming they would be quick to act if we did.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Check out the area before you decide on moving in, if you have kids I imagine you'd want to make sure the area is safe.
