Allsop at Woodland Heath, NR13

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

A car is required to access most shops, and bus links are minimal, but I believe this is due to the development being so new. Parking is great. Construction noise exists but is minimal due to great soundproofing within the property. Any issues regarding the ongoing nature of the project are made up for by the rental discount I received for moving in early.

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

I am early days so far, but all of my queries have been responded to very quickly with positive outcomes.

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

One thing I wish I knew before moving in would be that I needed to prepare my broadband access in advance. I was happy to use data on my phone while I negotiated providers, but I did not realise the mobile signal would be so minimal. Before my broadband was set up, I had to reach out the window to receive signal, which made the admin side of moving very difficult on my first week.

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

Good aspects are a short drive away from anything you might need. Bad aspects, a car is required to get to most places. It would be good to have a convenience store for basic essentials closer by but I understand this may be in the future plan.

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

Any teething problems have been addressed swiftly and effectively by friendly team members.

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

That the building work would start at 7.30am each day, however the sound proofing of the house is generally very effective; it's only if a window is open that this becomes very noticeable.
